The biggest tea party ever…or we are totally not adults

So, this was a conversation that happened recently.

A-pusher (THEM-COM) [15:36]:
i would really like to throw a tea party
i wonder if i have enough stuffed animals to throw one

Me (THEM-IRV) [15:37]:
You can borrow some of mine.
Estella would love to be invited to a tea party.
I’m sure Robin and Ehgg wouldn’t mind.
And then I have several other moose who would probably like to go.

A-pusher (THEM-COM) [15:38]:
HAHAAH

Me (THEM-IRV) [15:42]:
I’m trying to think of all the stuffed animals I have…
I have the giant ones, courtesy of you…

A-pusher (THEM-COM) [15:42]:

hahahahaha
im working harder now to think of what other stuffed animals can join the party than i have worked all day
maybe yaris and horse could join the tea party
well.. yaris
horse is prob not sophisticated enough to join

This was a totally normal conversation to have right?  While at work?  Right?  Riiiiight???

You’ll also notice that I no longer work for THEM in Cerritos.  THEM closed the office in Cerritos and combined it with the office in Commerce.  A-pusher is based out of Commerce now.  Since we also have an office in Irvine, I was relegated to Irvine.  So…we no longer share the same office.  Oh well, not like we ever were in the office at the same time anyway.

In which Yaris continues to show that she’s a princess

I recently had Yaris tested to see if she has any allergies.  She’s consistently had skin issues and we’ve never really been able to figure out what causes them.

I thought maybe it was her shampoo and I switched it.  It seemed to help but didn’t get rid of the reactions.

I put her on flea medication and that helped a tremendous amount.  She apparently is very allergic to fleas.  I mean, everyone is to a point.  Your immune system reacts to the flea saliva and the area of the bite will become inflamed and will itch a little.  But with Yaris one flea bite might make her entire belly red and then she breaks out in hives.  Ugh.  What a princess.

But with this allergy test, which was a mail-in kit where you give the lab a sample of fur and saliva, I found a whole list of things that Yaris reacts to.  Things like…chicken eggs.  But not duck eggs.  No, no.  She needs the more expensive egg.  She also reacts to tuna.  Which makes her kind of sad.  She really likes tuna.  But salmon is really good for her.  Salmon.  Of course.

But the allergen that really stood out to me was…human dander.  Yes.  Yaris is allergic to HUMAN dander.  She’s allergic to humans.  I’ve never met another dog who is allergic to humans.  But Yaris is.  Because she’s a princess.

Incidentally, she isn’t allergic to moose.  Maybe I’m in the clear.
