I hate all cute little furry critters.......I HATE THEM
Went on a date last night....fun times, but we were driving for quite a bit and his dogs spend a lot of time in the van. Windows open, no dogs present. Here I am Almost 24 hours later. I am puffed up, wheezy, and actually puking from the dander. I never used to be this bad around dogs I have showered, removed from my room anything that came into contact with said van, taken claritin, albuterol, and ativan. I"m not looking for medical advice. I just want to bitch that I can't even go on a simple date if the guy has pets. This is fucking ridiculous.

:cry:

Wow, I never heard of such severe allergies to dogs! My kids get that way around cats.

Hope you feel better soon. :hug:

5. I don't have a car right now
I was always like this around cats, but such a severe reaction is new to dogs. Thanks hon

4. I don't hate them, but I'm totally over them....
I'll pet other people's, but I'm NEVER going to tie myself down with a critter again.

The only possible exception might be a fish tank (since they do make doohickeys that will feed them for a week or so). But otherwise, SacredCow shall have no critters!

8. "...I'm not looking for medical advice..."
I'm gonna start posting that in ALL of my threads. If only I'd have thought of that sooner, I could have avoided a LOT of trouble.

:rofl:

:toast:

PS: While you're complaining about the dogs, don't forget...Timmy would still be at the bottom of that damned well if Lassie hadn't gone for help. Yeah, that's right...you heard me...LASSIE. A DOG.



"Don't let Rising Phoenix bother you, girl..."

10. Not to be unsympathetic but
I would think not dating people with pets would be a good idea since you obviously wouldn't be able to further the relationship anyway. Isn't it better to know that up front? :shrug:

But :hug:, too. Sorry that sucks for you - dogs are awesome and I'm sorry you don't get to have that fun in your life.
