Bear....



Well...yesterday Ryan and I brought home a new addition. His name is Bear..or least it was while he was in our care. You see..Ryan and I both suffer from dog allergies and we thought we were being smart by getting a Lhasa Apso - Poodle mix..they are supposed to be hypo-allergenic. They probably are to most people..but to me...they arent. In fact, my allergies got really bad and within 6 hours of owning the dog I knew that he had to go back. This was a heart breaking realization for me....I have waited so long for this puppy...and now to be allergic to him....ITS JUST NOT FAIR!!!
So we took him back this morning...puffy eyes, swollen throat and all...Bear is back with his buddies at the pet store...I am heart broken and I miss him dearly already..I didnt realize jsut how attached I was to him.

The reason for us getting a puppy was to bring a little joy into our lives....as mom's disease progresses...we needed something that would bring us endless amounts of joy and happiness...and he did all that...just also brought out the worst of my allergies!!! STUPID ALLERGIES!!!!
