Sorry for the lack of posts recently, but I've been really busy and haven't had time to take photos or edit (hence there being no photos in this post - sorry)
We are taking Lucy to a training session next week, which we are all looking forward too. Lucy is as energetic and exited as ever, and loves going for walks. We have noticed however that she has a thing about bright jackets.... It might not be a fear as such, but she seems to be either scared or exited by them, probably the latter....
Recently though, Lucy has been scratching like crazy. We've tried to figure out what is causing it, but haven't had too much luck.
It could be:
She hasn't got fleas - we know that much, as we've checked and she has been flea treated.
We don't think it is her food, as she is only scratching in certain places (her ears, her tummy, her legs, her sides, and occasionally her tail)
She has started to nibble instead of scratch now, which is slightly worrying, as we don't want her to catch herself too hard....
Does anyone have any experience of this? We have called the vets and some other people for more expert opinions, but nobody seems to have much of a clue what could be causing all of this scratching! Do you have any ideas?

Recently though, Lucy has been scratching like crazy. We've tried to figure out what is causing it, but haven't had too much luck.
It could be:
- The flea treatment we used
- The worming tablets we used
- Her food (we changed her food fully a week or so after we got her - but we did do it carefully and gradually)
- The shampoo that was used at the groomers
- The rug we have (Its very fluffy and furry)
- Her bed
- The washing powder my friend uses, as she slept on her duvet one night....
- The weather changing
- Tangles (we have brushed her numerous times)
