Vet check

I needed to get Kai her heart, flea and tick meds today but also set up an appointment for a rash I noticed on her belly/flank area. The vet seems to think that she may have licked her belly too much and caused it to dry and crack, especially with the cold weather. But why is she licking so much, Vet seems to think that it may be allergies. But now she may also have an infection from licking. So antibiotic and an antiseptic I think. I do not want to use that collar that would make her look like a radar dish, but if I have to then be prepared for transmissions from outer space. She was a little obnoxious at the vet, growling at other dogs, I was not happy. Sorry if the above paragraph seems somewhat disjointed, Kai wanted to play tug-o-war, so I did. She loves this dumbbell looking toy. It is plastic and used to have a squeaky that worked but now it is not functioning. Anyway, she usually starts with her mouth dead center on the toy and when I cannot get it out of her mouth, she manipulates it until she has an end and I have an end. Then we play. If I win I make her sit and I throw it. If she wins she runs around the house a couple of times and then comes back for more tug-o-war. I think she is tired, before tug-o-war she was grabbing socks from my room and the laundry room. I have to give her a treat to get them back. She is now crashed at my feet. Maybe she needed to burn just a little more energy before settling down.
