Dear Spring,

I welcome you with open arms, runny nose, and achy head. I am pleased you’ve mostly kicked old man winter to the curb and I love the warm breezy weather you bring…but might I ask a favor? Could ya maybe tone down the mushroom cloud explosion of pollen you have unleashed upon my fair town?

I mean, cut a sister a break! My car is yellow, my dog has post-nasal drip, and I have to take 2 medications a day to deal with your attitude. Thanks a million!

Kisses,

Erin

Rex and I visited the vet yesterday. The wait wasn’t long and we managed to amuse ourselves until the doctor came in.

She agreed that the poor little guy suffers from spring/fall allergies. He’s got medicine now and is happy as a clam since he gets fed cheese 3 times a day. He doesn’t seem to notice the pill stuffed in the middle - too busy snarfing the cheesy goodness down in a millisecond! Hopefully frequent bathing, foot wiping and anti-allergy drugs will lead to a non-snorty, non-paw-licking animal.
