All the best - wish I had better advise !

Hi Vi! Are you still in Houston? I moved to Austin in January. I'm having major culture shock! But I sure enjoyed being here for the rest of the winter.

Tink is doing much better now that we have the pumpkin. No explosions or watery stools for two days now. YAY! Still alot of mucus but we can deak with that.

We keep the windows and doors shut and and run the air filters all the time. Be sure they are Hepa filters. You would be amazed how much it helps. Not only the dogs but yourself and I now dust once a week instead of everyday.

Thanks for the advice and I'm sure it's good, but we love the outdoors and moved from the north to enjoy it. Unless things get worse again, I'm gonna go with Kelli's advice and bathe Tink daily and use baby wipes on her when we come in from being outdoors. She'll be the cleanest dog in Austin.

Thanks everyone for the great advice. I've written this down in her "Tink's Book" so I don't forget next time - please Lord don't let there be a next time.
