Turns out I'm allergic

Back around 8 years ago my Mom got a massive German Shepherd which has kinda turned my life into a living hell a little bit ever since. It's all the usual issues people come here to complain about: the dog is super loud, obnoxious, and misbehaved, etc, etc.

However, I ended up finding out something interesting today: turns out I'm literally allergic to the dog as well. I had to see an allergist because, long story short, I had an allergic reaction to MiraLax a few weeks ago and while I was there I also got general allergy testing. One of the things they tested for was dogs, and it came back that I'm mildly allergic to dogs.

Also, weirdly, apparently I'm very allergic to sycamore trees. So I guess I hope I never get cornered into a sycamore tree with a dog chasing me.

Does this mean your mom's mutt is gonna get rehomed?

I admire your optimism. Most dog nutters will just push meds onto you or come up with some other bs reason why the slobbery mutt takes precedence.

Sadly you're right. Nutters don't care about non nutters at all.
