Hey All, I am a new poster but have been browsing around since the end of March right after I got my Duncan. When I saw this thread I just had to chime in.
I met my husband about 7 years ago online while I had my previous yorkie named Dodger. He knew I was a yorkie lover and I knew he was allergic to dogs (and most other animals). I've always told him that someday I would need to get another dog since Dodger was my family's dog and taking him wasn't an option.
Knowing that it would be hard with his allergies we made our home and furniture choices very carefully in preparation. Our flooring is tile and wood; our couches and chairs are leather or wood.
Now that we have Duncan (about 1 3/4 years into our marriage, 1 month with Duncan) my husband is getting four allergy shoots a week for the next four to fives years. He will even take care of Duncan when I need to run an errand. He generally loves him too, but definitely not to the extent that I do. He would be more excited if he wasn't allergic and I can't blame him for that. I can't wait for the day that the shots (hopefully) kick in and he can play with Duncan without hesitation.
I have the best husband ever! |
