Clive

Don't quite know why this guy, Clive, tugs at my heartstrings so. We don't need an interpreter to tell us that Clive is dying to go home with a wonderful owner. The Loving Arms Animal Rescue & Adoption services says, "CLIVE is an endearing mix of 'cheerful Beagle' and 'courageous Dachshund.' He has a relatively long low body and coat reminiscent of a Wirehaired Dachshund, we believe his lively and clever antics will touch your heart and make him a treasured companion" and he's up for adoption. Contact dogs@lovingpetadoptions.org.

Dear Buddy,

I've never written to a dog before, but I might as well give it a shot. My dog Murdock an English Sheepdog has been moping around the house for maybe 2 weeks. Neither my husband or I can figure out what's wrong with him. Only change has been we bought him a new bed made out of softer materials. He sleeps on it, but seems restless. Any ideas?

Dear Perplexed,

I think you should try bringing back Murdock's old bed for a while and see if his behavior changes. It makes us dogs uneasy when someone changes things we're used to.

Dear Buddy,

Our beagle has itching problems and scratches or licks his itchy spots sometimes for a long time. What can we do to help him?

S. & S.

Dear S. & S.,

This is not easy to answer. Being a beagle, I've had many of the same problems. I did a little research on dog skin problems and found out that dogs often suffer from allergies just like humans. It's pretty complicated even for a smart dog like me. The ASPCA site was most helpful: www.aspca.org/pet-care/dog-care/dog-care-skin-problems.html. Another good site: www.nzymes.com/articles/itchy_dogs_with_skin_problems_

disorders_and_more.htm. Good luck.

Buddy
