My dogs normal?  (-:  Two of them are the sweetest dogs I've had the
pleasure of taking care of, while the Yorkie is a pain in the rear.
 
I didn't know hives did that to you.  A few years ago I had a battle with
poison ivy and in the early part of last year I had a case of shingles.  I
discovered later on that shingles is a chicken pox virus that stays dormant
in the system until the host passes the age of 50.  I had chicken pox when
I was eight years old.

Never observed that here.  Any particular brand name bread you are using?
