[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m still shaking my head at this whole dog situation.  I love dogs but I don’t understand how you could even entertain this idea.  How ridiculously disrespectful to think that someone with a dog allergy could host your dog.

No no no no[/quote]

I agree. DH blows it off because no one in his family takes their health seriously (and he truly adores dogs!), but his asthma has only recently gotten under control, and dogs and cats are definite triggers.

For context, we did own both a dog and cat for many years-- actually we adopted older BIL's dog because of a conflict between her and their other dog! So we had her for 9 years. We always knew DH was at least somewhat allergic, but when both the cat and dog died 9 years ago, we moved to a brand new apartment and his asthma was 75% better. And we realized he should probably never own either one ever again.

BIL knows this in theory but is self-centered and-- to be fair-- DH does try to brush it off a bit. He's always happy to per cats and dogs and deal with the consequences later. But BIL does know he's allergic and that's why we haven't had either in almost a decade. He's just not thinking about it.[/quote]
