White Dog met Steve at the office door this morning. "Poor Tizenegy is going crazy with itchies. You must help him find comfort."

Steve went over and knelt next to his baby boy sprawled on his side. He ran his hand over Tiz's body and stopped when the patient flinched. It was a red irritated spot, a "hot spot," that Tizenegy had chewed the furs from.

"Oh, Tiz. Let's have a medicated bath and then spray you with some antibiotic stuff. It should make you feel better. If it is not doing better by the end of the weekend we will go see Dr. Julia but I think we got this."

Tiz was not quite sure when Steve lifted him into the tub but soon relaxed under the stream of warm water and the shampoo being massaged into his furs. He leaned against Steve to be gently blotted dry. Then Steve parted the hairs nd sprayed the antibiotic directly on his skin. You could almost hear our baby's sign of relief.

"I bet you did not get much sleep," Steve said to him, "itching and chewing all night. I am going to give you a calming herbal tablet and you should rest."

It did not take much to convince Tizenegy.
