Whoof, to all my friends, in the herbal world.  Here in the Pacific Northwest, we have had some very cold days, and even colder nights.  The air is so dry and when I walk across the carpet and then go say hi to Mom, I get a little static shock.  It has been horrible for my skin! It feels more like a snake skin than my usual baby soft skin.   Dry, flaky, itchy, red, blotchy... well you get the idea. While I was hanging out the water cooler, I have heard these same words repeated in the office by my co-workers.    I knew that was my cue to go into action.   I got my books out and read into the wee hours of the morning.  What do you think I found?  A formula which relieves occasional itching. 
It is call Nourish the Surface Teapills.

Me being the Director of Good-news, I just had to share it with everyone.  So I went from desk to desk with my reference book in hand showing everyone what I had found.

 They were so impressed with my hard work, I got my favorite new treat. Sea Mobility Joint Rescue, Chicken flavored of course.   Mom keeps saying, "These aren't treats, these are supplements for your joints to ensure you can go on long walks"  Mom only give me one, though she thinks she is tricking me by splitting the one piece into two bites.   I just play along, wag my long tail as a thank you, and scurry off to finish my work before the end of the day.

Side Note:
Supplements are just that they supplement what you may be lacking.  I know about dry skin all to well, and I must say, I did have a few changes I had to make as well.

First, I changed my soap, I got an oatmeal based soap.  Second I stopped rolling on the moldy leaves, that Mom never cleared up from last fall.   Lastly, when I take a ride in the car, I have stopped putting my face directly in front of the air vent.  I just love the hot air blowing in my face during the cold winter months, but grrrrrrrruff  does it dry my nose out. 

Faithfully Yours,
