Daisy again

Last night Daisy was having trouble breathing.  It was so much worse this morning.  I gave her Benadryl, hoping it would help.  It did not.  So I set about the daily cleaning necessary for someone with allergies.  I washed her blankets, dusted the room she sleeps in, wiped down the walls with vinegar.  And I call the vet.  I told him what was happening.  He told me to come and get some steroids.  I set off this afternoon to get those steroids and got hung up in an accident on the highway.  It took me an hour and 45 minutes to make a 45minute trip.  But it was for Daisy.  I gave her her first steroid tonight and she is already doing much better.  She is able to sleep.  She did not move when I took Duncan and Jock outside.

So on a daily basis, I dustmop the floors with a dustmop treated with endust.  I change out the blankets the dogs use and wash them in hot water.  I dust everything.  I know the drill.  And once a week I wipe down the walls with vinegar.  Once a week, I pull out all the heavy furniture and clean and dust behind it.  Once a week, I pull the refrigerator out and use canned air on the coils, wipe it down with vinegar.  I do this with Daisy outside because of any dust that has accumulated on the coils.  I do have a clean house.  I hate housework.  But she is worth it.  I do love her.
