FYI -- there is a new invention available now -- they are called SCREENS.

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Oh, we have those new inventions. We also have a few stupid old windows left that have drain holes directly to the outside. That's the only place I can think of that they're getting in through. Seems I only get these nightly attacks when I leave the upstairs windows open...trying to save on electricity rather than run the AC all night. Give and take, I guess...

So...I came out of a deep sleep around 3AM (my normal get up time, but NOT on my Friday off). It was not my alarm, but intense itching on my hand and tingling in my upper lip that pulled me out. Got up to close windows in case of rain, went into the bathroom and damn near died. My upper lip was swollen to easily twice its size! Now, I might give a :poop: how I look most days but I am not one of those vain women who need collagen lips and plastic boobs. I looked like a plastic surgeon's worst mistake.

Not much I could do at 3AM except go back to bed and hope the swelling goes down by morning. I slept late, obviously needed it. The hand has a mosquito bite, its swelling is all but gone. The lip, on the other hand, is taking its sweet time. Now I quit giving a crap what people think of me quite a while ago, but I still don't want to parade around with a disfigured lip. If the swelling gets down to a less obnoxious level by this afternoon, I will go to the range. I may have to wait until tomorrow morning (suck it up and get up super early). Actually, I think it's pretty funny. I've killed so many mosquitos that they are covertly getting their revenge :ROFLMAO:. Got lots I can do here instead. Got three days off so there's that. 😎

Spiders are bad sleep-time bugs and several types make itchy and swollen areas where they bite/sting they are bad sleep-time things and don't ask me about the bugs that don't just live in a bed...

Calamine lotion was always a helper with bug bites/stings... and beer-flu masks could cover up your movie lip...

The lip is almost back to normal. I’ve decided to go to the range tomorrow morning. I just hung out here and did some constructive (and some not so constructive) stuff. The windows are staying closed tonight. 😉

Having a terrible thunderstorm right now. Maggie has gone completely off the wall. I told my wife that I have made the decision to put her down. I'm trying to call my vet to see when I can bring her in. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, especially this one but nothing seems to help her and I don't want her to hurt herself. Sometimes life is not easy. This will be my last dog. At 69 I just don't have it in me anymore.

Not an easy decision to make, if she is that bad something needs to be done, are there no meds or anything that may help her? Really hate to hear you have to do that, but you know what’s best for her, you take care of yourself, you got friends here if needed.

I realize you are at your wits end. You want the best for Maggie and everyone else. If I may make one more suggestion; Do you have available a no-kill shelter or one that specializes in adopting out older dogs? You have my compassion and sympathies.

Thank you,

Cliff
 
My vet did call me back. We have had him for over 30 years with all our pets. As hard as it is he agrees that she is getting worse and nothing has helped her. He also knows that this is going to hit me hard. My wife and I have had dogs for over 36 years-- all siberian huskies. I know I have to do what's best for her not what's best for me. My life is centered around her and this will leave a big hole in me. I worried what would happen to her if something happened to me. I guess I won't have to do that anymore. It just doesn't make it any easier. I just don't want the dog to suffer. I wish the weekend would never end but it will and come Monday we will have to say goodbye to her. I will never be the same again.
