Sepia Saturday: Allergies! UGH.

Spring has sprung the grass has risen and my allergies are in full season!

It has been a tough week.  I have had my paws and belly washed innumerable times. Something out there gives me welts. Washing and medicating is the only way to stop a full reaction. So, my "walks" are monitored... Nothing like being watched when you are trying to do "your business", right? "Payback is a hell" says momma. Really?  Laddddddyyyy it is MY JOB to watch you at all times!  MY JOB!.  You are just OCD weird. Who ever heard of bathroom privacy when a Bichon is on duty? Do I try to tell you how to do YOUR job? Never mind.

I am trying to see the big picture. But. Momma looked in my ear yesterday [I shook my head 2 times... and the woman went nuts].  Dragged my tushy over to my dogtor. Yuh, my ear is red, they did not see an infection but then again, it is very red and painful.  So, of course now I have stuff that gets squirted in my ear. I love momma. But momma is OCD. Momma gets nuts if she thinks any of us fur babies are not ok. And lately, between my allergies, and the bubu on my toe, and the itchies and this... her obsessions have me as the target focus. 

Boy I never thought I would say this... but... Momma can you focus on something else?  Someone else perhaps?

For the record, being at the dogtor creeps me out. I shake, rattle and roll and not in a good way. I went there for a red sore ear. My EAR. Immediately they do the stick in the tush thing! What does my tush have to do with my ear????? That whole stick in the tushy is so beyond my level of comfort I just do not get what possible benefit I get from it. I just feel... violated. And my dogtor is hands on. I mean hands on me, all over my body. I like him, but really... should we be that familiar?

Anyway.  I plan on milking this ear thing for all that it's worth.  It got me a two hour belly rub last night [I love falling asleep while my belly is being rubbed] and I love having an all night snuggle. Today I plan on more of the same. Maybe I will wrangle a hand feeding out of momma. I love that. Or maybe, just maybe I will talk her into going to the pet store to visit the gerbils. Wonder what it would take to get her to buy me one.

Well, so far I ma practicing my "painfully cute" poses and working the sympathy angle like a virtuoso.

I am good, I am really good. See?

10 Things You Didn't Know About Cats And Dogs

Worth the read:

10 Things You Didn't Know About Cats And Dogs Thttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-grimm/ten-things-you-didnt-know_b_5270407.html he Huffington Post - When you spend four years researching a book on dogs and cats, you learn some surprising things. Here is a list of my favorites, culled from my new book, Citizen Canine: Our Evolving Relationship with Cats and Dogs, which traces the journey of pets from wild animals to family members.

PSA dogs in hot cars

The Animal Protection Institute showed that even moderately warm temperatures outside can quickly lead to deadly temperatures inside a closed car.

The study, conducted during a local heat wave, compared an outside temperature of a shaded area with the inside of an automobile in three states: fully closed, with four windows cracked, and with two windows cracked. Inside temperatures were measured with an indoor/outdoor thermometer and an oven thermometer (both readings are given). All temperatures use the Fahrenheit scale.

 

Day 1
Outside Temperature		Inside Closed Automobile
		Indoor/Outdoor	Oven Thermometer
9:00 am	82°	109°	----
9:30 am	87°	115°	----
10:00 am	91°	115°	----
10:30 am	94°	114°	115°
11:00 am	98°	114°	119°
11:30 am	100°	117°	124°
12:00 pm	101°	119°	127°
1:30 pm	112°	124°	130°
2:30 pm	125°	130+°	159°
4:00 pm	98°	110°	110°

Day 2
Outside Temperature		Inside Auto - 4 Windows Cracked
		Indoor/Outdoor	Oven Thermometer
9:15 am	84°	98°	98°
10:00 am	88°	103°	105°
10:30 am	90°	108°	108°
11:00 am	92°	109°	109°
12:00 pm	95°	113°	113°
1:00 pm	101°	114°	115°
2:00 pm	110°	123°	120°
3:40 pm	112°	129°	128°
4:00 pm	115°	132°	130°

Day 3
Outside Temperature		Inside Auto - 2 Windows Cracked
		Indoor/Outdoor	Oven Thermometer
8:30 am	72°	72°	72°
9:30 am	80°	95°	95°
12:00 pm	88°	105°	105°
1:50 pm	99°	109°	109°
2:30 pm	104°	120°	120°
(both thermometers showed identical readings)

Other studies show similar results:

• San Francisco State University - April 2007 fact sheet utilizing data from a Golden Gate Weather Services study
• Another study reprinted from the Journal of the Louisiana State Medical Society
• A study from Stanford University shows that even on comparatively cool days, such as 72 degrees, a car's internal temperature will rocket to 116 degrees within 60 minutes. And keeping the windows open a crack hardly slows the rise at all.

Max, NO!

Adam sent this picture with this quote: "Do a good job on the bewwi and there's more where this came from. "

Max, boy, "nephew", what have you done?

Adam is bragging all over town that he gets dirty paper from you when he gives you belly scritches! 

DUDE! Belly scritches are a RIGHT, not something that you have to pay for!!!!

Are you crazy?  Starting that trend could be very dangerous for all of us.  I mean... Momma does not leave her dirty paper around for us to pluck.  Maybe the Dowi is trusting of you. Maybe she has not figured out that you have been paying for your scritches... maybe she does not know that Adam has been coming over because you made it into a profitable event! 

I just don't know what to say.  I am just DUMBFOUNDED, GOBSMACKED, SHOCKED even!

Now listen up.

You are entitled to belly scritches anytime you are around one of YOUR hoomans.  You do not pay for them.  You can lick, kiss, wag or even play bow.  BUT, at no time are you to ever engage in the exchange of dirty paper in any manner whatsoever!

For woof sake, boy you are degrading into hoomanistic behavior! Why spiriling in that degrading descent?

Buckle up!  You are  a BICHON, dang it, now start acting like it.  The ones with thumbs are staff.  We are to be served, belly stritches are a service.

You can love up your hooman, but not with dirty paper.  Got it?

I think we need to bring this boy back here for a refresher course. No, an intervention!

Auntie Robin... he is missing "foundations!" I hold you responsible.

Dowiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, do you know where your dirty paper is?
