My recap and follow-up to the week.
Update: Buzz Off
The fly bite I received on Saturday (I found out there are such things as deer flies that do bite humans) continued to remain very hot and itchy. It grew in size so by Monday the red area around the bite was about the size of a grapefruit. I called the Dr and discovered that I had cellulitis I have been on antibiotics since Monday and the infection seems to be under control, although the bite is still really ugly-looking.
Author’s Note: Proceed With Caution
I’m not sure I stressed enough the dangers of toys that aren’t soft and plushy. Delilah is particular loves to chew the really hard frisbees, that plastic can be very sharp and it is so important that they not swallow it.
While we hear about indestructible toys such as Kongs, I have also heard of dogs that can chew through a Kong, so it is important to supervise when and what your babies are chewing.
Update: Monkey See
Almost immediately after this picture was snapped, I leaned in to give Sampson a smooch and Bob made one of those horrifying noises that only a cat can make “MEEEEEEOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW” and jumped and scratched me.
I don’t believe I will be able to blog tomorrow, I am going to a NASCAR race with my friend Mindy. Have a great weekend.
Oh no! My fiance had cellulitis – that stuff is no fun! Get better soon!!
Thank you, it seems better!
We call deer flies “triangle bugs”. They can take a big chomp out of you. Hate them! Glad to hear you are better.
Yes I know of more than one dog that chewed through a kong (and they breakdown over time) so you have to watch them. They can cause a bowel obstruction same as the next toy.
Hope you had fun at NASCAR.
Never heard of a deer fly before, not even sure that is what it was, but it is feeling better. Thank you.
NASCAR was fun, but extremely hot!
