BUY???

I would have loved to hear the word "adopt" used instead!
You got that right, Gini!!! ADOPT should have been used!!! That would have been a perfect lead into a segment on death row dogs.....

Anyways, I have major asthma and allergies and I was brought up with birds and hamsters, but not dogs. After I got married, we got Wolf and I was very very allergic (asthmatically) to my heart-dog. Soooooo, I got shots weekly and took all kinds of medicine (even an experimental one from France) and it WORKED! Good thing, 'cause even though I suffered for a while, I was NOT going to give up my pooch!! Nowadays, the meds are so good, I am under control enough to have TWO dogs!! We've come a long way, baby!!
