Happy Thanksgiving!

What a week it has been! First of all, let me start by saying Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I hope you are all enjoying the holiday.

I know I have not been updating this blog in a timely manner, so we will rewind a bit.

Tuesday, Nov. 18 - I have been having issues with my jaw. I went to the dentist and he told me that it was not dental related, but possibly a gland problem. It turns out that I have a swollen parotid gland, that's a salivary gland to the rest of you. My friendly doctor prescribed a heft dose of Amoxicillan for the next ten days. No biggie. I happily took my pills and was on my way.

Saturday, Nov. 22 - I don't know what has gotten into our sweet, but not so innocent Annie Bear, but we learned the hard way that she can unclip and unzip bags. We came home to find that she had eaten some FIM documents as well as a Butterfinger at the bottom of Chris's bag. Why does Chris have a Butterfinger at the bottom of his bag? That is for you to ask. We didn't witness Charlie partaking in any of these questionable activities, and he claims to be innocent, but we are sure that he provoked most of this.

Tuesday, Nov. 25 - Finding things out the hard way seems to be the lesson this week. It turns out that I am very allergic to Amoxicillan. After dinner at a crappy Latin fusion restaurant in Culver City, I developed a nasty rash as well as an itchy tongue and eyes. I am either allergic to Cuban sandwiches, plantain chips, or Amoxicillan. The doctors are pretty sure it's the Amoxicillan. Chris rushed me to the ER, and the doctors were nice enough to stick an IV in my arm and stab me in the stomach with some Epinephrene. That was fun.

Wednesday, Nov. 26 - My young niece, Tiana is highly allergic to eggs, dairy, and soy. I know what you're thinking...this allergy thing must run in the Louie family. I ordered some yummy chocolate cupcakes from the Sensitive Baker in Culver City as a surprise for the little one. This was a special order made especially for Tiana (soy, dairy, and egg free). Unfortunately, they messed up the order and gave my cupcakes to someone else. I was pretty upset, but they were nice enough to comp the other items I had ordered. The poor thing will not be able to have her very own chocolate cupcakes this holiday, but I hope to surprise her with them later on.

Thursday, Nov. 27 - Happy Thanksgiving everyone! It has been a nice, quiet morning so far. The dogs have had a bath and are ready to take on their cousin Bessie this afternoon.

Only you Louie, er, Humphreys would end up in the emergency room with some wacky allergy rash. Odd that you failed to mention this highly entertaining story the last few times we've chatted. Don't hold out on me.

Catching up!

Give me treats. A new dog bed. They appreciate me in Beacon, NY. Eyebrows. A new friend. That'...
