As some may remember my experience when I got Hildy the dog last year was not so good...I was so alergic to her...but I knew there must be some dog out there that I could tolerate...well this week I happened to be driving by the Humane Society on my way home from the gym...decided to stop in...there amongst the multitude of beagles, black labs, and rottweiler mixes, was an quite, serene, German Shepard mix who caught my eye...I stopped to pet him and looked at his bio...he was a stray, well behaved and 6 years old...hmmmm, I thought to myself...I decided to visite with him in the visitation room just to kill time and fell head over heals!
I wasn't sure if I would end up being allergic to him but when I left that night (after putting a hold on him just in case) I seemed to be fine (although my allergies had been acting up all week because of the spring blooms...I thought about it long and hard for 24 hours and as I was leaving work the next day I just decided to take another chance...and I am sooooo glad I did...not only do I not seem to be having any major allergy problems around him, he also barely even sheds!!!!! Even when I try to pull hair out...nothing!
