Yesterday we met a lovely tricolour collie called Carina, who looks just like me – we might have been separated at birth. We had a nice walk together in Alexandra Park, and Mum noticed that Carina had some bare patches in her fur – worse than me. Apparently Carina suffers from the same allergy problem as me, we have both been really itchy this week and her vet has not cured her either. They think it is an allergy to seeds and dust and they are trying the same solutions as us. When I am scratching, I sometimes wear a t-shirt to distract me. Later Mum went to Lucky the Jack Russell‘s house and noticed he was happily chewing a wine cork: when she got home, she tried to persuade me to chew a cork. No, thanks – I am a Collie and I only chew bones (or Denta Stix). Luckily Dad had some leftover ribs for me, which I chewed this morning. Next time I see Carina I will find out whether she would chew a cork. And if Lucky likes them so much, that will be a cheap Christmas present sorted!
