You poor thing. It must be terrible being allergic - especially when one is a kid. I mean ALL kids want pets at some point or other to cuddle, and fish - well, they're hard to cuddle.

That's ok...I cuddled my cats when I was a kid and they ended up sending me to speech class because my nose was always stuffed and I could not say my name properly...came out Barcia Hebbidg...so I got sent to speech class to learn how to blow my nose?! Was interesting.

LOL Marcia!
I've had pets all my life but my parents were the responsable adults caring for them. Patas, my yorkie, is my real first. He is almost 12 years old and he's saved my life a few times just by being there when I was very depressed.

Perhaps I should replace the depressing dictatorial male here with a compassionate four-legged one. I would feel better protected and I could do...whatever I wanted.

Why?
You'd also have to get rid of your allergies... and fears...

Is there no form of medication that one can take to keep the allergy away? A friend of mine's daughter is allergic to lots of things, pollen, cats, dogs, rabbits, everything. But she was desperate for a pet, so my friend bought her a bunny. Sure enough she was allergic. But then we got the idea of letting her inhale at night before she goes to bed, and that seems to be helping a good deal. It's been 4 weeks, and she is doing pretty good - the bunny too.

Yes, that must help. The bunny isn't allowed into her bedroom or on furniture. But it's a SWEET bunny!

Pet Connection - Saturday, May 13, 2000
Brewer's yeast for fleas? The stuff has been touted as a
"natural" cure for years, but if you're counting on it to
handle an infestation of the pests, you'll likely be very
disappointed. Whether given as a food supplement or
sprinkled on the pet as a flea-deterrent, the best you
can say about brewer's yeast is that it probably won't do
your pet any harm. Alas, it won't do the fleas any harm, either.
I'm surprised that I still get so many letters about fleas.
I remember the days when I put on rubber gloves to dip my
pets monthly in chemicals that smelled so strongly they
triggered my asthma -- and still, we had fleas! But with
the newer products available from veterinarians, Frontline
and Advantage (among others), I can honestly say I haven't
seen a flea in years.
PETS ON THE WEB
Pedigreed cats are fairly rare, with some experts guessing
that less than 10 percent of all pet cats are of a recogniz-
able breed. And while most people would recognize a Persian
or Siamese, few would likely be able to identify by sight
most of the dozens of other breeds that pop up at cat shows.
Learning about these breeds is a kick, and one of the best
places to start is the Fanciers Breeder Referral List
(www.breedlist.com). This incredibly well-organized and easy
-to-use site is clearly a labor of love by cat fancier
Barbara French, who has done a real service to anyone look-
ing for information about any breed of cat. I could barely
click away from this super Web site! I especially liked the
push for the adoption of retired show cats, and the links
to breed-focused e-mail groups.

Rats??? I thought they invaded houses and were NOT invited. I must have gotten it all wrong. Hi Maggie! Have you exchanged rats for dogs, yet?
*Hugs* to all who love creatures who share the world with us!

you guys, i'm seeing way too many people have a menagerie of animals in their homes. just the other day, a guy was taken in because of all the dogs he had. they were in cages stacked on one another. he wasn't intentionally being cruel. and then there was another with too many cats. we all love our creatures but we have to think about them first. if you only have room for one pet, then have only one pet. i have fallen for many but have had to walk away because i wouldn't be able to care for them properly. what happens to those animals? if they aren't rescued by local societies, they go to the pound and we all know what happens at the pound. (birds end up at pounds too)

I've nbeen noticing more and more animals are eating their captors in such circumstances. Worse, they are let go in the everglades and pythons eat them. This is not a pretty story. I guess I need to find a copy of that and put it somewhere. Florida has a huge problem with "unadopted" creatures.
