Allergies

: I wonder if sometimes people don't like certain things because they have an allergy to them. That would explain me, but not my nephew. it's why i don't eat shellfish anymore. i realized when i was 6 that within several hours of eating shellfirh, i'd be throwing up for hours. simple solution. don't eat it. didn't go over so big with my parents at the time, until i pointed out to my mom (a nurse) what happened. she had me eat a single bite of scallop... and i was violently ill. they never gave me seafood again. When my parents found out about my allergies (I was in first grade and my mom noticed that I was always sick with a cold which no one else in the family ever got), they gave away our cat. My dad gave me desensitization shots for years. I got a dog when I was 12 (almost 13) and supposed to be past the worst of the childhood allergies but I took dog training classes through the Girl Scouts to learn to handle a dog. Even though I had a Shetland Sheepdog which is not as big or vigorous as a Porty. DH thinks the First Family will have a problem because Michelle obviously does not know how to handle a dog and those kinds of dogs need a firm hand. well, Michelle *and* the kids should take training classes with the dog, not rely on an outside trainer to produce a nice pet for them. that just doesn't happen i like Porties. my ex's sister raised them... i'm much happier they got one of them, rather than the "Labradoodle" (a mutt by any other name costs way too much money...) that was being talked about originally. at least a Porty has a pretty good chance of having the typical temperment of the breed, even though it's headstrong & stubborn. with a mutt like a Labradoodle, temperment is pretty much totally a crapshoot. there are wonderful mutts & there are horrible ones... the really bad ones end up in shelters somehow. lee |
