Happy holidays...

Morkie :)

This is my new obsession! It's a morkie...cross between a maltese and a yorkie. I asked for one for Christmas, but I think I'm going to have to wait until our refund check comes.



I saw one at the pet store the other day, and it was so hard to walk away!

White Christmas After All?

I live in Pennsylvania where the snow is falling like crazy! Just wanted to share some pictures of what might be our White Christmas after all :)

M.I.A.

It has been crazy here!

Austin woke up one morning as was scratching the crap out of his head, so when I checked what was going on, I discovered he was covered in a rash and big red hives. It was everywhere. The poor guy was so miserable. I took him to urgent care and of course they tell me he's having an allergic reaction to something. He was on amoxicillin two weeks ago, so they though maybe it was that, but he had been off of it for days and had it previously so I highly doubted them. I gave him Benadryl and covered him in cortisone cream and just tried to make him as comfortable as I could.



He woke up the next morning as was far worse. He started to break out into hives on his face and was crying because he was so itchy. I ended up taking him to the ER b/c I was very concerned about swelling of his tongue and what not since it had reached his face. They gave us a prescription for Prednisone and sent us home!

The next day he was soo much better. He has a few bruises from where the 'burn rash' was, but at least he isn't covered and crying b/c it was breaking my heart.

We still don't know what happened. I haven't given him any new foods or any new soaps or laundry detergent. We think he's developed a new reaction to something he's been exposed to before. I wish I knew so I could avoid it, but it's never that easy...is it?
