It seems to be his head/face that itches the most

He would drink until his belly felt like a water balloon and then, of course, he peed everywhere. He was an outside dog so it wasn't quite as disastrous to the environment. He did live a couple more years and got past that water problem but became deaf and crippled with arthritis. He was 16 when we let him go, but in retrospect, we should have done it earlier. :(
