Every once in awhile for some strange reason, Linda gets allergic to Chimmie. She can hold him up against her body for 8 weeks straight, and not have any issues. Then all of a sudden, out of the blue, she'll break out in a horrible, itchy rash. You can see the redness if you click on the photo to enlarge it. (This time he was sitting on her lap while she typed and would reach up to kiss her every 3 minutes. This is what resulted from his fur rubbing against her skin.) It happened again last night while we were in bed. She lets him start the night in bed with us. He was doing sooooo good at being still (plus I slept through the night without waking her up once.) and not wiggling around. At one point, he crept under the covers to be right against her. She was almost asleep and not paying much attention, so she did not stop him. We are not allowed to lay under the sheet, just between the blanket and the top quilt. In about 15 minutes, she felt like a million fire ants were crawling on her and she was itching like crazy. Sure enough, she went to the bathroom and was all rashy where his fur touched her skin. Benadryl keeps her awake so she could not take anything for it. I wonder why this happens? Taylor gets the same thing every time he holds me. This morning there is not a red mark on her anywhere.
