Napping

It's a little hard to see, but Maddie is using Rumples rump as a pillow.  Some dogs are everyone's dog, and some dog's attach themselves to one person.  Rumples loves everyone and is always glad to see them come, but he is attached to Maddie.  He tolerates her hugs around the neck with goofy grins.  He lets her pat, and rub, and scratch him.  And, he will even serve as a pillow for her.  Even I could not be allowed to use him for a pillow, but apparently, Maddie can do no wrong as far as he is concerned.

Go figure...

I thought I was soooo clever making my own lotions that were solving all my skin problems.  Then, reality check!  Turns out I am allergic to beeswax.  How do I know?  Terrible, horrible, itchy, raised rash everywhere.  And, I do mean everywhere I was using the lotion.  Hopefully 6 days on steroids and steroid cream will calm it down.... if not, more serious treatment will be needed.  Great.  Go figure....

Always a circus.........

Just when I thought life might settle down into a routine..... I'm thinking now it might never happen.
