Ahh that is interesting that it could be environmental allergies, because for some reason even the hoomans have seemed to have worse allergies here in IL than we did in MI. Hmmm.

She's been to the vet for it but they just said to give her more excersize? She gets walked several times a day and like I said, someones usually here so she gets lots of attention - somehow I don't believe it's an excersize issue.

I've been volunteering at the humane society since I was 13 so I definitely know first hand the pain that irresponsible breeding causes. We are definitely not breeding her and she never goes outside alone, so I'm not worried about her getting into trouble for now - the only thing holding us back is that my mom is so worried about her (and even so, she's pretty much agreed to do it, she's just putting it off). We've always had our pets fixed as soon as we got them or as puppies, so I dunno why she is so worried about this one - I think she said it was because she's the first female dog we've had to have fixed. We've always had male dogs before Baby so I think she's worried about the surgery being more complicated.
