I's Used to Bein' a Pincushion.... Now I's Swiss Cheez!

Well, as some of ya may know, and others of ya will hear about now, I has allergies... I's allergic to all kinds of dings in da environments.... dings like pollens, and dust, and mold, and such. I's been gettin' allergy shots fur years... dey usta work purdy good. At least once I've been on dem, I don't gets da ear infections I usta... but I still chews and scratches myself.. plum nekkid, I do. I will chew all da hair off myself if I gets a chance. So dat is why I's usually wearin' clothes. T-shirts, and when I'm worse, a full bodysuit with jackets my Momma makes me..Not da purdy dresses she usta make me and that she makes Whitley and me still... those don't keep me from scratchin... Here is a picture from Chrissymus and you can see I's been givin' my poor lil feets heck...

Momma gets sad when she looks back at how I usta look years ago before I gots worser... she has spent thousands of dollars tryin' to find sumthin' to help me... dey's tested my thyroid, but that weren't it.. allergy shots, you name it, we've tried it.

 I's been goin' to Dr. Sean Messonier for over a year... he are a well-known HOLY-istic vet (Momma sez it's holisitic,not holy, but he helps my itchies some, so he's purdy blessed to me) and he had given me all kindz of supplements and potions to help me feel better. I wuz born with a heart murmur, so we's been tryin' to avoid da stuff like Atopica cuz of my immune system-- Momma is afraid it would suppress my immune system too much and I could get cancer or sumthin' like dat....

 Anyways, sorry to bore dose of y'all that already knew dat, but I wuz givin' da back story to those who don't... Today me and Whitley had to go gets our toofers cleaned... so dey took us to Dr. Sean's and we wuz havin' a good time until they dragged us off to the back...neither of us wanted to go..bol! They gave us dopey-stuff and made us sleepy and cleaned our toofers... except for me...

 When I woke up, I had holes in me... little round holes he had stitched up... I looked like Swiss cheez!! Momma sez I are exaggermatatin', but I do have little places where dey took a round punch hole of skin to biopsy... he wants to find out if I has anythin' other than allergies.. said he has had sum pups who don't get better with the supplements who akshually has sumthin' else wrong wid 'em... We don't know whether to hopes I duz, cuz that might mean sumthin' could make me better, or hopes I duzn't... but we'll find out next week.

 Well, dey gave me a kinda dopey stuff that is easier on us pups with da heart murmurs, but it's got sumthin' like more-feen in it, so's I still kinda sleepy. At least my smile is purdy agin...

 P.s. We just learned dat our lwd friend, Zaidie, has been super itchy too... we's feels so bad fur ya, since we knows whut ya are goin' through...(sniff, sob... da thought of dat cute lil fella sufferin' like I duz... well...)

 Bark ya later, gators....

Every girl needs herself a tasty Barkarita now and then....

And after the week we've had... maybe 2 or 3???
See, Dogster is closing down effective March 3, 2014.... and we's been runnin' around tryin' to find ways to keep in contact with all our friends from there and Catster... and encouragin' pups and purrs to start blogs of their own. Over on the Dogster/Catster place, there were a lot of good diary writers, just like there are a lot of good writers here on the Blogosphere. Some of them have started blogs-- they're newbies-- so I'd appreciate it if some of you wunnerful friendly pups & purrs would make 'em feel welcome...
But first of all, WhitleyWestie, my BFF, who is owned by my Momma's oldest daughter, is back to blogging full time...
Whitley Westie
and our cats, Jezebel, who is the family cat, and Travis, who is owned by Momma's oldest daughter like Whitley is, have started their own blog....
Lone Star Cats

Here are some of the ones who've just started blogs....
A Schnauzer's Tale
Pepper Power On
Misty-Queen of All I Survey

I'd deeply appreciate it if y'all could make this first wave of Dogster & Catster orphans feel welcome..

A NEW YEAR... AND SOME NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS....

Well, it is 2014... yikes!! Time has flown... once again, Momma been pretty good about writin' my diary entries on da Dogster place but absolutely awful about writing them here.

But a new year and a new resolution-- to post a LOT more often... in both places!!

We've been havin' the January blahs as far as the weather goes... too cold, too rainy.. but today wuz just  right!! It was a sunny day and in the 60s so me and Whitley got to go for our usual neighborhood walk... which is good cuz we've kinda been drivin' the humans nutso bein' all cooped up!!

In other news, we gots another kitty in the house! Whitley's momma, my Momma's oldest daughter,  got a kitten and he is named Travis.. he is a orange tabby-- my Momma is always calling him Kittencakes and Peach Velvet and she sings this silly song to him to the tune of Blue Velvet... it are embarrassing... she are supposed to only be singing "Finny Face" to me... But he is a really sweet kitten, and fit in really quick around here... Really sweet, that is, unless he decides to play smackypaws on Whit's or my nose!! Well, he is a cat, after all.....
Ally, Momma's youngest, has Maurice da black and white Maine coon and he is HUGE! When he lies around da house, he lies AROUNDDDDD da house!! He are 42" long from da tip of his nose to da end of his tail!
And Jezebel, my favorite kitty, is still here and will be 21 years old on her next birthday in April 2014! That is really old for a kitty!

This is a photo of Jez on da left and Mr. Travis Ford on da right... he luvs da kitties and is always tryin' to snuggle with them!

Below is a photo of Travis with da big guy, Maurice....

 

That wuz some photos of the ice storm we had in December....

A photo of Whitley with all her birthday toys... she turned 11 on Sept. 12, 2013...

And last but not least, a photo of yours truly and da big guy Maurice...if ya looks closely ya can see whut has our attenshun-- a skwirrel!! We is tryin' to decide who'd get to eat it if we could only get on da other side of da glass. I told him he could have it as long as I got to do da ole shake-shake! ...
