Tea Tree oil warning. Again.
I have commented on the dangers of Tea Tree oil before, and here we go again. I spent the day yesterday watching The Curmudgeon struggle to walk. Why? Because the day before, he went to get his hair cut, and the gal that did it, did not warn him, did not ask him if it was okay to use, instead she just began to shampoo his head with a shampoo containing Tea Tree oil.
Had he not noticed the scent and asked if Tea Tree oil was in the shampoo it could’ve been worse. He yelled, “get it off, get it off, I have a bad reaction to it!” She washed his hair twice with another shampoo but even then it was not enough. When he woke yesterday he was barely able to walk.
Tea Tree oil can cause severe reactions in people (and pets) and should never be used without asking if the person (or pet) has ever had a reaction to it. The Curmudgeon’s MS is deeply affected by Tea Tree oil.
Years ago, one of our dogs had a severe reaction to it too. We were told to put it on an inter-digital cyst and when we did his foot swelled to football size. Thank goodness for Benedryl and a good vet.
Please, use it with caution!!!! The damned stuff needs a warning label and shouldn’t be put willy-nilly into everything.
They have a box full of them
Isn’t he done yet? I want it.
They have a box full of Nylabones of all shapes and sizes suited to them and natural bones too. However, one always wants the one the other one has. If she isn’t outright stealing the bone from his mouth, she’s looking pitiful. He, on the other hand will wait patiently for her to get tired of the bone and then snatch it from where she’s dropped it. They are a hoot.
You all have a good one!
Sneaking this in, hoping Mother Nature doesn’t take notice
We got off lucky on Sunday with only a dusting of snow. (Saying that very quietly.) When it was snowing hard and, thankfully, not sticking much, I took the dogs out. Never have I seen such a disgusted look on two dogs.
It’s true, not only are the people going crazy this winter but the pets are too. I’m hoping that today’s forecast of snow also hits the skids as yesterday’s did. We still have feet of the white stuff in the yard which has turned into hard, icy, pad cutting snow. We need it to thaw and go away.
I so crave green plants, warm sun, and flowers. You all have a good one!
Teetering on the edge
That’s me, teetering on the edge of sanity and 59. In a couple of weeks I’ll be over the edge and hit 60. OMG! 60! I never imagined hitting 60. Seems as though, after this winter, I won’t exactly hit 60 as much as it will hit me.
Just took the dog’s outside and it is a mere nine degrees. About takes your breath away out there. The forecast says it will drop to 3 degrees before morning.
I really need Spring to hurry up and get here before I lose the few threads of sanity holding me here. I want to get out of the house, go for walks, go fishing, work on my garden, play in the dirt and get my sanity back on track. This winter was far too long and too brutal.
Do you see it?
There is a stray cat around here. Yesterday it was enjoying a long snooze in a sunny spot on the roof of the building across from us. It sure is a pretty cat. Nicest shade of red I’ve ever seen on a cat.
If my dogs liked cats, I’d be inviting this one in for sure.
You all have a good one and stay warm.
Fun? Not yet.
I pity the pups. They are as sick of the snow-covered ground as we are. Neither one wants to go outside for more than a minute or two.
Looks like we’re supposed to get snow today and Friday night. Here’s the forecast for today.
WE ARE EXPECTING A LIGHT SNOWFALL EVENT TO OCCUR COINCIDENT WITH THE MORNING COMMUTE TOMORROW. GENERALLY AROUND AN INCH SHOULD FALL ACROSS THE NON-ADVISORY AREAS AND COULD GREATLY IMPACT THE MORNING COMMUTE AS THE SNOW WILL BEGIN TO STICK INSTANTLY TO ALL UNTREATED SURFACES. THE SNOW SHOULD END RELATIVELY QUICKLY FROM WEST TO EAST LATE TOMORROW MORNING.
IF YOU WILL BE DRIVING TOMORROW MORNING, BE PREPARED FOR SLIPPERY CONDITIONS AND REDUCED VISIBILITY. BE SURE TO LEAVE PLENTY OF ROOM BETWEEN YOUR VEHICLE AND THE ONE AHEAD OF YOU.
Oh fun…NOT.
Cabin fever cure…get out of the damned house!
Yes, I actually got out of the house today! G and I went to a nearby mall for lunch and some retail therapy. We stayed there for hours, wandering through every store. I almost cried when we found my favorite store was gone. Coldwater Creek is no longer in that mall, we have to travel over South Mountain to another more distant mall to find one. They are the only ones that have jeans that fit me right.
I should never go near stores. I spent more than she did. Again. Came home with bejeweled flip-flops and cute shoes for the conference in May.
We both feel better having gone out and away from home.
You all have a good one!
Uneffing believable…more effing snow.
I think I’ll quit reading weather forecasts and stay ignorant of what is to come. Tonight the forecast is snow and 27 degrees. Monday a high of 32 degrees followed by more snow and colder on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Yeah, I vote that I stop looking at them. Especially since both skelemingoes are finally visible in the garden under the tulip poplar.
Here’s one today.
Here’s the same one a few days ago.
No, I’m not trading in my van already.
I keep getting calls from the dealership, “Trade in your van for a new model today!”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“It is completely paid for and hasn’t even got a thousand miles on it yet.” Yeah, yeah. I know, I’ve had it two years, but I honestly don’t get out much. LOL!
I love my van, I will probably be driving this van for the rest of my life. They don’t get it. 😀
