Visitor

Rufus's friend, Gator, came to stay with us for a few days while his mommy (Tammy) went to Las Vegas. Unfortunately, Rufus's mommy (me) had a severe allergic reaction with the arrival of Gator, the likes of which she hadn't suffered in a long, long time. And she's never been allergic to dogs (cats, yes.... but Daschund's are dogs, right?) but this was pretty bad. So.... Gator was banned to the kitchen and the house was scrubbed and vacuumed and the bedding was washed (because Libby put Gator on the bed). Since then, mommy has been okay (except for a lingering cough). But poor Gator (and Rufus, because it would be rude to leave our guest in the kitchen alone) has been staring through bars all weekend. His mommy comes home tonight. We are all sort-of glad about that.
