Re: [pyrnet] Dry Skin?

[Julie Johnston <raven4luck@adelphia.net>]

ROLFLMAO - what a great story to start off my week.  I just watched "What
Men Want" and it brought to mind Mel slipping all over the bath beads before
he landed in the tub.  I've never braved the aisles of PetsMart or Petco
with Emily.  (-;

Here in Colorado where the air is so dry I take flax seed oil for my skin
which I've also given to my dogs.  There is a  liquid product made by
Everyone's Best Friend called "Skin and Coat Supplement" which claims to
relieve itching.  The gal at Circle F uses it as a salad dressing.  Since
only one Pyr is being itchy though might be best to have it checked out.
