Yeah, her teetee is normally very hairy. I keep it trimmed but not nekkid! :D So I bet the air feels weird on it right now. She'll sit and raise one back leg, look back there, lower that leg, raise the other and look again as if it might look different from that side! She's walking with her back legs spread wide I guess to keep the hair on her legs from touching it now that it's bare. LOL And the squatting and rubbing on things is just funny to see. :p
I have never had a Brazilian :eek::eek: but probably what it feels like :D:D:D
Oh my gawd, I am cracking up laughing at Squirts antics. It must feel very weird to her to be so breezy suddenly. :eek::eek:
hugs through the laughter

Tipper said to tell Squirt that in Pittsburgh we refer to it as your Koochie. So Squirt got a Koochie shave today, and is feeling the freedom of a good waxing one of us would get. Some things are just meant to be shared Squirt! She will be running wild thru the fields now, I can just see her. What a treasure she truly is, and you are very lucky to share your life with her Leslie. Blessings

Hi Leslie HerbQueen!
I have a question, Flynn has had the itches which we seem to be finally getting it under control. Vets think it is allergies +/- flea dermatitis. I have shampooed him with Sebazole in previous weeks and now wanted to try something just soothing and calming for his skin without chemicals.
So I was in the pet store earlier today and spoke to the owner who is quite big on natural food and products. We buy Flynn's venison there regularly and it is additive free. I mentioned his skin problems and he has recommended a spray he makes up himself which he markets as a healing tonic. It is in a 500ml spray bottle and contains:
Water
Seasonal Fruits
Nettle
Chamomile
Parsley
Marshmallow root powder
He suggests you can use it topically for skin irritations, wounds, external parasites OR internally for vomiting, stomach upsets, diarrhea.
I bought a bottle and just sprayed Flynn around his tail where he has had the itches - poor dog does not like water and this is a bit too close to that for his liking, you would think I had water blasted his butt even though I did it gently! :eek::eek: Needless to say I got the stink eye ;)
Just thought I would ask your opinion on its topical use. I do not think I would give it to him orally as it is not in a sterile bottle. Thanks xx
The part about lifting the leg then the other is a riot. Don't they make us laugh? If they only knew how funny they are at times.
So Squirt is now "commando" so to speak. :D
Leslie:
Hope Squirt is still feeling the freedom of her shave! Hope she is doing well today, we are having a hard rain right now and it got Tipper a little rattled as it is coming down so hard on the windows etc. I looked thru the herb book I got with the Hawthorne, so many herbs and things to make with them. Blessings

:D Commando! :D I haven't seen her dragging her teetee yet this morning, but she'll take a few steps, legs still spread wide, then sort of drop her butt a little and almost crab-walk for a few steps. Last nite, she would roll over so I could rub her belly but when my hand got too close, she would raise her head and give me a dirty look! She would lay down on her belly then stand up and look at the blanket with this odd expression on her face and go lay in another spot only to do it all again. She finally started sitting on her thigh instead of her butt then sort of falling on her side so her bare nekkid teetee never touched anything. :p Once she finally got situated, she would look at me like she was saying, "Do you see what you have done to me!" LOL
Trish - that looks like it could help with the itchies tho the fruit is a surprise. But like you, I wouldn't use it internally. Concerns about sterility, the source of the herbs and fruit used, portions used, amounts used, how extracted and with what, as well as possible reactions to one or more of the herbs/fruits - like diarrhea from Nettle - are enough to keep me from feeling comfortable about internal use.
Patti - that is one of the many joys of herbs for me....seeing the many things one herb can address. I remember when I first started using SEB a friend telling me she had read it could be used for wound care. I was shocked! But further research on SEB shows it has many uses other than for the digestive system. And this has happened over and over - I think I know about a certain herb then someone says they use it for X with great success and it's like a brand new herb again!
Leslie;
Is it ok to give the Hawthorne with food? She probably will put up a fight with a syringe.
