Bless my poor Maddie's heart! She's having a tough morning. After I took her and Bella outside this morning, I noticed that she was pawing at her nose. I took a look at it and suddenly realized that she's beginning to resemble Jimmy Durante...for obvious reasons.
Her nose has two big bumps on it...one on the very tip and another on the side. I'm guessing that she's having an allergic reaction to all this pollen we have as she's been sneezing a lot, too. She had this happen once before when she had an allergic reaction to a shot she'd gotten. I remember Brittany yelling for me in a panic from downstairs saying, "Mom, come quick...something's wrong with Maddie's nose!" I called the vet and he told me to give her half of an antihistamine and it went back down pretty rapidly. So, that's what I gave her this morning...sure hope it helps!
On another note, this is a very anxious time of year as sophomores, juniors, and seniors in high school are are preparing to take tests like the PSAT, the SAT, and the ACT. Some, in fact, have already received their test scores while others are nervously waiting to get them. I still vividly recall going through all of this with Brittany the past few years and with Abby entering high school in the Fall (help me!), I'm about to embark on it, once again. One service that's available to her if we choose to pursue it is PSAT tutoring, which is offered through a wonderful company called Study Point. The tutoring is done on a one-on-one basis. Hey, I'm all for anything that will help alleviate those sweaty palms and white knuckles!
Well, I have to go check on Maddie and make sure her poor nose hasn't gotten worse. This could prove to be a very LONNNGGG day!
