So last night we returned Pork Chop to the breeder. Turns out Erik is really allergic to dogs. Everyday he got worse and worse and then finally on saturday he put is face into Pork Chop's fur and about a minute later his eyes were almost swollen shut and he had hives all over his face. He cried for a long time rubbing his face until the benedryl kicked in. The girls are actually doing all right with it. Olivia had a good cry when Sean left with him. I think after seeing Erik they understand. I felt sad last night about it but now I feel relieved. He was a nice little dog. I guess we are just not meant to have pets. Can I just say that I am really happy it is March. January and February didn't even seem too painful.
So last week I went to a naturopathic doctor because of all my weird swelling and pain and general fatigue, not to mention weight gain and hot flashes. It was very interestings. The did some tests on 2 different days. Bottom line my body is not absorbing any of the major proteins, only one of my hormone centers is really working and my metabolism is shot. So now I am on a special diet, no dairy, eggs, gluten or soy. I half to cook all vegetables and fruit. No exercise for a while and a bunch of supplements. I'll let you know how it goes. Over the weekend we all had colds so not much fun there. The bright spot was on Sommer's birthday of course. We went out for lunch with her girls and my girls. Then we had a combined birthday party with Claire at Mimi and Papa's house. Sommer actually slept over at a friends house as well. I can't believe how fast Somemr is growing up. I may be a little biased but she is turning out to be a wonderful girl. We are very proud of her.
