Friday I worked half day and then took Diggy to the vet. His itching had not gotten better and I just feel horrible for him. Anyways, the good news is that he doesn't have any infections or problems with his ears, or any diseases causing him to itch. The bad news is that we have to figure out if it's a food allergy or an allergy to pollen. To do this, he is on prescription dog food that is an all soy based formula. He isn't allowed any foods other than this formula and water, so he can't even have treats! Luckily, he loves ice so we have been giving him ice cubes to replace his normal treats. He also has to take benedryl twice a day to try to help if it is a pollen allergy. It might be in my head, but I think his itching has improved a little. I just hope it works so bad!
Saturday we woke up and took a LONG walk to the Ocean Beach Street Fair. Ocean Beach is a little beach community with lots of "hippie" type families, so the street fair consists of lots stands with food, art, bands, etc. We went last year and thought it was fun so went back again. We basically ate lunch and watched people, but it was a good time. After the fair, we went home and Robbie came over to grill out. We grilled lobster tails for the first time and they were really good.
Yesterday we spent the day at Coronado Beach. The temperature was super nice, but it was really breezy. By the time we left, my body was coated in the sand that stuck to sunblock and filthy. After the beach we went home and tried to make grilled pizza. We had some difficulties transfering it from the pan to the hot grill, so the shape and look of it was totally off, but it was really good. We're definitely going to try it again but with a different strategy so it doesn't look so mangled.
It's so hard after a great weekend and being able to be outside at all times to be stuck indoors in my office that has no windows :( At least we don't work Friday so we can celebrate the 4th!
