Simmi has been through so much since November 09′. It started with her being allergic to our dog Sugar, making her itch and scratch, and feel totally uncomfortable. Then after the peanut M&M incident, her skin just seemed to get worse from there. Purple spots plague her torso, and her skin feels like sandpaper. Back [...]
