Hello Everyone!

A brief entry, The cold snap is almost over, A delayed sulfur dip treatment & The bug-proof cover seems to be working!

Alright, I am on time with the writing routine so that is nice. I am still more or less trying to get back to starting doing it a wee bit earlier... but lately I continue to fail at doing so right at sunset. I think that some of that is because of the few extra things that I have been doing (because of the prolonged cold snap) so we will see what happens once it is over.

Anyways, today I did not do much except remain indoors and stay out of the biting cold weather... which seems par for the course of late. As much as I do not mind being cooped up... this particular cold snap seems to just keep dragging on and on.

The only thing that it has majorly interfered with is giving that dog (with the dandruff mites) another treatment with the sulfur and lime dip. I just could not subject her to getting soaking wet (with the dip) and then having her remain outdoors in these conditions until it dried.

Tomorrow the weather is supposed to finally break and will be warming up considerably... so I am planning on giving her the treatment then if all goes well. Since I could not do the treatment... I have been using those permethrin ear drops on her just to help alleviate some of the itching... which works well even if it does not compare to what the dip does.

Ever since getting the bug-proof mattress cover installed yesterday... I gotta admit that her skin looks less irritated so perhaps that was a good idea... and has helped contain the bulk of the problem as far as the mites in the immediate environment goes. It is definitely still to early to tell... but I will assuredly know if it is making a difference after I do that next treatment with the dip.

Well, I am feeling way too moody to spend my time writing this evening so ta ta for now and I hope that everyone is doing well.
