Up for Adoption

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I really hate when a pet has to be given up "due to allergies," but I've recently discovered that I am allergic to dust mites and therefore, much to my distress, I will have to put up for adoption the thousands (if not millions) of them that are currently residing in my home. They are all very well behaved although they seem to think the entire house is their litter box, but there's not much you can do to train a dust mite.

I recently had my down comforter cleaned and later realized, much to my horror, that that is a favorite place for them to hang out, so I probably unwittingly killed thousands of them....just so I could have a clean comforter....how could I have been so cruel?

They are lovable little creatures and if you've never seen one, please click here to see one and read all about them.

As bad as it sounds, I feel so much better since taking the comforter off my bed. I feel horrible that so many of the little guys had to die for my comfort....but I haven't had to take a tylenol in over a week now, and that is unheard of!

So if anyone is willing to give these guys a home, I'd really appreciate it. I have no experience with trapping and moving them, so hopefully a loving caring home can be found with someone who has experience caring for them.

Dearest Debbie, you are more than welcome to keep them. Allergies or not, it isn't right to give up a pet. Besides.......isn't it wrong to pass on the allergies to someone ELSE? He he he!!! Just kidding! Good luck with those dust mites of your's, and I hope you're able to get rid of them soon!

Um, no thanks . . . we *probably* have our fair share as well!

[GraciesMommy]

I don't have room for any more or I would help you out...I am over extended as it is..sowwwwwieeeeeeeee

Maybe you could find a dust mite rescue organization in your area

Debbie,
Cincy would like you to know that she endures shots faithfully every 18 days, so that we do not have to rehomes our dust mites.
Perhaps you could look into a similiar "cure" to help with your allergies?

Don has told me absolutely no more dust mites!

If only Terry felt about more dust mites the way he feels about more kitties in the house.

I would gladly offer to take them in,hate to see them homeless, but i am not sure if the Kiwi's and American's will see eye to eye, they could be a different species ya know,I am often tempted to send my packing, but my heart just isn't in it.,I think they have a permanent home with me.,despite all my allergy problems, you have my utmost empathy there. cheers.

You know there are ways to DEAL with your allergies. You made a commitment to those dust mites when you brought that comforter into your home. now I think that you should build them their very own special room so that you can keep them safe and sound while still not suffering too much. It is the least you can do, after all, dust mites don't travel well.

Debbie, I have a question. Are they spayed or neutered and do they have all of their shots?

[Samantha Puppy]

Have you no heart? How could you possibly give up something with a face this cute??

Reminds me of the Northern Exposure episode in which Maggie dreams she's having a conversation with a dust mite. I miss that show!

If you get any takers and they want more.... I have to get rid of mine too. I been allregic to them for years and have to .... how shall I say this delicately..... "throw them out of the house?" Hump! They have a ball here the 28 days I am on the boat.

Also Deb, they make a cover for your pillows and materss to keep dust mites at bay and I hear they work... I just have a matress cover and wash it often with my pillows.
