So, it's been a year and a half since we passed on Not Dewey. (I hope he went to an excellent home.) I started allergy shots last year, and last month got a chance to test them in the field, so to speak, by spending time at a friend's parents' house. Her folks have two dogs and a cat, and I'm pleased to say that I left feeling as chipper as I did when I arrived. No itchy eyes, no sniffly nose, no tight chest, no wheezing. (Also I should note that this winter passed without my usual case of bronchitis! So yay!)

If we were able to get a puppy, we'd still have to follow some rules to minimize my allergies, like he wouldn't be able to sleep in the bedroom, and my husband would have to do the bathing/grooming specifically (or pay somebody to do it for us). We've also considered getting a corgi-mix with a wire-haired breed or even not a corgi at all (although if we can swing it, I'd prefer the corgi.)

Don't worry, we won't go ahead until we're certain that my allergies can handle it. But I'm pleased to say that so far the shots seem to be working most excellently.
