Welcoming the New Year with..... Allergies :(

Happy New Year!! It's officially the 2nd day of 2009 and I have to honestly say, we rang in the New Year in a lot of discomfort, ha ha. Ok, let me explain. Last week, I went to the vet to get my routine vaccinations. Mommy told the vet that my umm.... anal glands were a bit stinky and that my ears were a bit red and it concerned her a bit. Well, thank goodness there wasn't a lot of yucky stuff in my anal glands (I can't believe I'm blogging about this!), but that the tissue around it was swolen. My vet then told us that dogs show their allergies through the swelling of the tissue around their anal glands and the redness around their eyes. They also show their allergies by licking their paws (which I've been doing for the last couple of days). So with all that said, they've put me on allergy meds. They make me a bit sleepy, but at least I'm feeling better. Mommy also got her wisdom teeth extracted on Tuesday, so we spent New Year's together in bed. Daddy worked a long shift and checked up on us through out the night, but we rang in the New Year, in the comforts of our beds.

At least we had a good belated Christmas celebration in California! I love visiting Grandma & Grandpa! They let me do whatever I want! I jump on the furniture, I eat lots of treats, & get lots of attention. Bonnie got a new outfit. Grandma always tries to get me new outfits, but can never find anything that fits. Oh well.... I don't mind. We brought a foster dog, Berkley, with us this time and Uncle Joey loved him. He may even adopt him. We're waiting on the verdict... and don't worry, I'll keep you updated! Till next time....

Paws & Kisses,
