I'm so sorry it's come to this after all that heartbreak and rejoicing with the reuniting. I just wanted to tell Denise that allergy shots are REALLY not all that bad. I started getting allergy shots when I was about 13. Seriously, they aren't that bad. The needle is so tiny and at the beginning, the serum is very thin. I know when people think of SHOTS, they think of PAIN but I'm here to tell you that I would choose allergy shots (and even choose to have my kids get allergy shots) over having to lose the family pet. I know you have to choose your daughter's health over your love for "a dog" but I just wanted to tell you...... give the allergy shots a chance. It's very possible that once she builds up her immunity with the shots, she'll be able to tolerate having Maddie around her again. And maybe I missed something in the original story but are you sure it's not something Maddie is getting into? Like grass or pollen? Maybe you already answered that before but I was just wondering. Hopefully these friends of yours will agree that they are Maddie's temporary foster parents and that some day you can get her back. Best of luck!
