The vet, Allergies, a Pimple, and Thunder Snow

Wowzers has quite a bit happened since my last post on here. For starters I should begin with my pimple. Early last week I woke up with a bump on my muzzle which didn't concern my mommy because I get them often and they always go away on their own with time. Well, my mamie didn't like mommy's wait and see approach and gave her this long, drawn out "you're ignoring something abnormal and letting him suffer" lecture...mind you my pimple wasn't bothering me at all, just my itchy paws were. After about five days of mamie yelling at mommy, mommy finally gave in and took me to the vet against her will. Mommy was already annoyed about taking me in for something stupid but you know what didn't make matters any worse? I'll tell ya! The vet took one look at my cute little face, giggled out loud and said "this is a pimple, a warm compress and time will fix this"...yup my mommy was right, just a pimple on my little face, no need to be concerned. So, while we were there the doctor gave me a good once over (this way the $40 exam fee was more justifiable than just charging it for a pimple) and started me on a new allergy medication to try and stop my paws and booty from itching so bad. Hopefully this medicine works long-term because nothing else they've tried me on has helped more than temporarily but because they're pretty positive it's environmental allergies (like to wet grass) there's not much else they can do besides medications. So far this one seems to be working okay but it's only been 2 days!

Well these past two days have been quite touch and go weather wise here. One minute you look out the window and it's clear, the next minute you look out the window and it's a full blown blizzard. Last night my mommy was out at BINGO with one of her friends and all of a sudden it got very icky outside so mamie text her to warn her, then by the time she left about half an hour later it was completely clear...the roads were bad, but the weather was clear, and today has been more of the same, I couldn't tell you what's gonna happen next...in fact, we're even getting thunder and lightning with this bout of snow...yup THUNDER SNOW! The local sirens have been going almost non-stop since early this evening, and the wind is really whipping around out there, which makes for a very unhappy pug, I can even hear the plow drivers in the distance working on some of the driveways. And what's bad about this? I still have to go outside and do my last business before bed time...what am I gonna do? I'm gonna freeze, and I'm gonna blow away! I know we've been pretty lucky this winter with next to NO snow at all (which for Buffalo is quite impressive) but can we please have spring time soon? I'm ready for sun spots in the driveway, bonfires, and lazy days in the yard!

Alright well I'm off to snuggle pug under my covers and get warm for a bit! Hopefully I'll be able to write again soon!!
