Mischief - 13 Jul 2005 04:10 GMT
Well, during the week it's not so busy at the clinic.  We actually got
to leave a 6 pm instead of like 7 or 8 pm tonight.  it's the weekends
that get crowded when everyone is on vacation.

Depending on how busy we are I'll be bringing in Imp and maybe Mischief
to be bathed this weekend.  Also I plan on have them bathed when they
are boarded at the end of the month.  All the bathing will help cut
down on the amount of dander.

I'm feeling fine, the new medication is awesome, but I can tell that a
week after washing my sheets that I tend to get snuffly from all the
hair and dander, and I have to wash them again.

But to help cut back on the dander, I've been vacuuming the heck out of
my bedroom, and I brought in Mayhem to work and committed the ultimate
sin.

Not only did I bathe her, but I shaved her as well.  I do know that
once she came into my life is when my allergies started picking up.
Imp and Mischief do not bother me, and they are short hairs.  Mayhem is
a fluffy DLH, so it's the extra hair an dander.  So Mayhem got a shave
today.

She's now hiding under the bed quite humiliated.  I don't blame her,
since she howled the entire trip.  I swear I saw Mischief crack a smile
when she saw Mayhem's haircut.  Especially since Mayhem has been
bullying Mischief around the apartment.

She looks SO much skinnier now, even though the scale shows that she
has gained over a pound since I rescued her.  It's funny looking and
kinda cute at the same time.

I would like to find a home for her if possible.  She's clashing with
Imp and Mischief and unless things get better the fur is really going
to fly.

Here's a link to the photo album of Mayhem, including the latest pic of
her all shaved.  BW, do not have a drink in hand when you look at the
last pic.  You have been warned.

Do you find that the Claritin helps?
Mischief - 13 Jul 2005 05:30 GMT

Thanks for asking,

Poor little baby! How undignified! She still looks sweet though... i'm
sure somebody will want to give her a good home since you're allergic
to the poor thing...

She's adorable. You have to really love her up and tell her how beautiful
she is. SHe sure looks better than her pictures from June!

Well, the allergies are one thing.  Another is her terrorizing Imp and
Mischief and the final part is money and space.  I could probably
scrape and try to let time handle the last two issues, but my doctor
says i have to do something, and I definitely know that the allergies
got a little worse when she came in.

I got cats knowing that I was allergic, and have managed to get along
fine with Imp and Mischief, but now I know that three cats are too
much, as sad as it may be.

wow!  She doesn't look at all like a scrawny wet rat. She looks
really cute, even shaved.  I hope you can find her a good home.
Have you been posting signs or something?

I've been spreading the word to all my co-workers and classmates.  My
roommate said she had a co-worker that might be interested, but she
hasn't gotten back to me yet.

If I can't find a home for her by September, I'll donate her to my Vet
Tech program,  They'll find a good home for her.

Yeah, she's a total sweetie, but she was all over me this morning to
feed her, and after a while I could feel my chest tightening in
reaction to her dander.  *sigh* I think after 2-3 years I've built a
resistance to Mischief and Imp but wiht Mayhem it's becomign difficult.

And she's a TOTAL love bug.  you move the slightest in bed and she's
RIGHT there demanding scritches.  But Imp and Mischief won't even come
into my room anymore, cause Mayhem chases them out.  *sigh*
