Yay, Friday. The week is over! And what a week it was...
We got home at around 6AM Tuesday from the Denver vacation (more on that to come in the next few weekdays) and went right to bed after driving all night. After we woke up around 1PM or 2PM we picked Peach up from Shawn's parents'. After getting home she broke out in a rash of hives all over; usually I'm the only one with that issue! It was everywhere: in her ears, on her belly, on her face. Cool baths and snuggles made them go away that first day but Wednesday night was horrible! She started to get an absolutely puffy face and we could tell she was miserable so we went to Walgreens in the dark of night for Benadryl. Quickly we rushed back home to give her a tablet and it helped! She still wouldn't eat but she would take water. We all got back to bed and slept some more, then woke up to get ready to go to our respective jobs and crates. Then she puked.
And again.
...And again.
So I called into work and told them I'd be taking her to the vet. At our appointment the vet said it looked like a bee sting to her (her one dog reacts the same way) and she gave Peach a steroid shot to make the inflammation go away. 12 hours later she only had a half Benadryl last night before bed and she looks great! She is spry and all Peachy again, barking at bunnies and whatnot. She even went with us to hear (from the parking lot, high-class style) Cake at the Stir near our house. She sat on her blanket chewing her bone and barked at bunnies and people sitting near us... Short Skirt + Long Jacket sounded great live even if we couldn't see the band!
So today, I love me because:

So today, I love me because:
- That day I said I wanted to love Peach better? It's as if after I said that, she knew I loved her, and we've been, well, peachy ever since; she is my baby buggypug now :o)
- I didn't drive the ones I love crazy with babycrack this month.
- I'm getting FABULOUS at letting good things I want just make their way to me... softly.
- I know I am unique and pretty, and I told myself that yesterday.
- I am keeping the faith everyday.
- I am asking for help from others, even if it is just for baby prayers/thoughts/meditations.
Stumble it!

Aw glad Peach is ok. That's awful and must have been pretty scary for you. I love you love yourself. it's making me think I need to be more kind and less hard on myself too. Have a great weekend!
Glad Peach is ok! Glad you guys had such a great time! many hugs!
Ohhh poor little cutie. I am so glat that she is feeling better. Hope you all had a lovely and relaxing weekend after such busy week last week. Kisses, sweetie.
Aw, poor Peach! I'm so glad she is OK! And good for you to ask for help from others when you need it. If more people in our society did that, I truly believe we would have fewer problems. I'm sending good vibes your way, my friend!
Awee lil peaches. That happened to Kodiak once after he ate grass which he is allergic to. His face swelled up so big, I was scared but the benadryl took care of it. Glad that peaches is okay.
Thank you all for your warm wishes! We are so glad Peachy is ok! That was very stressful.
