Hey everyone,
My life has been way too busy since I started working but I wanted to jump in to say that I'm still around. I usually only have half an hour before going to bed each week night to check the internet, so I usually only lurk now. Plus, stress from work is making me more exhausted.....but I'm surviving.
We've been doing pretty good, but I had to take Nakita to a holistic vet in Toronto since she has been scratching like crazy. It started in March, but has been getting worse and my normal vet couldn't figure out anything and wanted to put her straight onto drugs. Of course, I'm against that, since I would rather find the root cause, rather than cover it up by giving Nakita drugs. So I went to a holistic vet for allergy testing and will be going back next week for the results. Poor Nakita freaks out from the itching and tears across the room in agony. :( I may end up placing her on a raw diet, since it's very likely she has a food allergy. If you can, please send some positive vibes our way so we figure this out. We would really appreciate it!
Of course, I also wanted to share some pics, it has been way too long! ;) Nakita still loves to go for her daily walks and we have finally found the perfect walking harness for her......it's a bunny/ferret harness I found at Petsmart and it fits Nakita's 5 pound frame perfectly! I'm so happy I found a harness that fits her! :) So here are pics of 'Nakita the Blue Bunny' when we took her for a walk:
