Other:

Macey is doing better since she started taking the allergy med. Her fur has started to grow back and she is more playful. Must be something this time of year that triggers her. She didn't want to wait for the camera to focus.. but I thought I'd share anyhow.

Until next time,

Have a wonderful day!
