Another Smothering Day

Good morning/afternoon/evening! Well, we are back to the hot and humid weather again. Our temps went up to 91 degrees yesterday. I really did enjoy the couple of days we had when it was cooler. It made me really yearn for Fall.
My poor little Bella. She has had an allergic reaction to something because her stomach is all broke out with a bright red rash. She will lay on her stomach on the floor and drag her stomach across the floor. It must be itching and she is trying to relieve it. I called the vet and she said to give her Benadryl. I have given her two doses and the rash isn't as bad but she is still dragging her stomach across the floor. If she doesn't get any better by Friday, I will have to take her to the vet. We are thinking that she may be allergic to Febreeze. My brother had sprayed the couch this past weekend.
I don't have much to do today besides washing a couple of loads of clothes. I usually wash 2 times a week. If I wash only once a week, it takes a lot out of me because my brother usually has a lot of clothes to wash. Every day he wears two sets of clothes. One for work and then when he comes home, he changes into another set.
I hope everyone has a great day today and be careful of the heat!

@crazyhorseladycx Bella's rash is completely gone but we still don't know what caused it. I'm wondering if it was something in the air outside. Her little eyes run a lot and the doctor said it was from allergies.

Hope little Bella will feel better soon. I am hoping to go to have breakfast with my children at the park later, and work on my freelance project too. I just had my yoga practice and felt good. I might need to do another load of laundry this evening, I need to wash everyday.
Have a nice day!

My late husband used to wear three sets of clothes each day plus I had two children whom I cloth diapered. You can imagine how much laundry I had to do.
That's terrible about your dogs rash! When my daughters gets hives from things she allergic to it usually takes about 3 days of taking Benedryl for the hives to go away and stay away.

Good mornin!
OH mannnnn, I bet the Febreze is the culprit. I hope the vet can help.
We are supposed to be at 90 today. At this point in summer we just say "at least it's not 100." I hate summers here, it's the only part of here that I don't like. We don't get much humidity thank goodness. And our a/c is still good.
