Congratulations! She's breathtakingly beautiful (cute baby too!)

Seriously though, congratulations to everyone, that is probably the best "mom meets baby" pic I've ever seen.

I used to own a dog grooming salon & doggy daycare many years ago. I am not a veterinarian, but I can testify that I have personally witnessed HUNDREDS of dogs miraculously reverse dozens of heartbreaking medical conditions (the majority being skin related for obvious reasons) by being fed a strict "BARF" diet - BARF = "Biologically appropriate raw food" - but even pets whose owners were too squeamish to feed it RAW enjoyed their conditions being improved dramatically with a homemade diet of mostly meat, a little bit of liver + a tiny bit of rice and vegetables.

For a little dog like yours this shouldn't be terribly expensive. I really encourage you to try it without any off-diet treats for just 8 weeks before you add more medications.

At the very least, cut out all DRY dog food because even the cheapest junk food brand of wet food is most likely going to be healthier than the abomination that is dry dog food.

I can also recommend Davis manufacturing's line of shampoo, specifically their promoxine anti itch formula. But you have to rinse well, 90% of people bathing dogs do not rinse all the soap out because they just rinse the top, like we do washing our own hair in the shower, but dogs grow hair in every single direction; imagine you are using the end of the hose/sprayer to "paint" every single square inch of her skin underneath her hair (yes, press it close) and THEN you'll have properly rinsed (don't forget bottoms of feet too!)

Shampoo & conditioner left unrinsed is another common cause of terrible itching for dogs.

Good luck!

Last month I googled how to protect my oriental lilies from the chipmunks that are eating them (they are small enough that they can reach in to the chicken wire bulb cage I fashioned, unlike the bigger squirrels that the cage works great against). The unasked for "AI summary" that appears at the top of every single inquiry now seriously told me that "the best way" to protect my lilies from chipmunks is to PLUCK THEM OFF BY HAND AND DROWN THEM IN A BOWL OF SOAPY WATER.

just something to keep in mind

I LOVE THIS!

Many many many years ago, before I met my husband, I placed a personal's ad that said "Between Carrot & Vimes, who is the better man and why?" And that bait caught me a MUCH higher quality catch of prospective dates than my usual attempts at finding potential partners did, (but only 1 of them gave the 'correct' answer out of the  dozen+ responses I got lol)

You are very talented, but that's so disappointing about the AI software question

Come on humans, let's get it together please...

I'm sure you wouldn't want to take the time to make one every single day, but you can make super-cute bird feeders with a hollowed out citrus peel, (cut in half to make two little cups) something sharp to poke 4 equidistant holes in the sides near the cut edge, and several feet of twine.

I made some out of mandarin peels a few years ago and they were a huge hit with the pine siskins and a few other smaller but unidentified finch-types around us, but they are really too small to be practical feeders for a wide variety of birds...  they ARE just adorable though!

My more practical advice is to second the lemoncello suggestions, it is super easy and makes a great gift.
