Allergic reaction to the new year

We are already over two weeks into the new year. It has passed so fast. For me 2017 started on a bit of a sad note. On New Year's Eve both me and sweetie were under the weather and it continued for a few days. We were watching a lot of nice movies however and didn't step outside for a few days. Only enjoyed the beautiful white landscape from the window as we got a lot of snow to the city.


On the 4th of January we were both feeling energetic enough to go skiing and after the ski we went to pick up a furry little friend that was going to stay with us for a week. I had looked so much forward to his visit and planned lovely long walks outside and fun visits to the few restaurants and cafés in town, where you can bring these lovely little creatures.
Here he is, my friend Meo. One sweetheart of a dog.


Our first day together we were walking for 5 hours none stop. It was -10°c and sunny so wonderful winter weather. 



Up on Mont Royal people were skiing. They had made nice tracks for cross-country skiing. Beautiful indeed.






On our third day together, I got my first allergic reaction of my life. I have a had a feeling of nasal blockage and runny eyes in spring sometimes, but nothing remotely close to this. It affected my breathing and my voice and finally covered my entire body with read swollen blister looking things, that I wanted to scratch to death.
Our adventures were cut short, I had to bring Meo to a close friend of his, where I knew he would be in good hands. I'm having a hard time digesting this information as my love for dogs is an extremely strong and powerful one. In the dog park, I had a few dogs all over me. They most have sensed my desperate enthusiasm to finally get to hang around them. I felt like I had reached my heaven and I wonder if my body was just a bit overwhelmed by it and in fact I'm not at all allergic to these heavenly creatures. I wasn't for two years, when I had one myself, so I'm just going to put this in the unfortunate incidents of 2017 folder and continue my allergy free life.
