- nefitty 5y agoMy baby poodle is on the couch with me, fast asleep. Her little legs twitch. Sometimes she does little yips in her sleep. I wonder what she dreams about. I hope she feels love for me, close to what I feel for her. Oh, allergies. Yeah they suck. Dogs are nice though.

- f1refly 5y agoI like being able to breathe. Its one of my favorite things to do, goes along well with being able to drink water and digest solid nutrients.

- toast0 5y agoWell, my first two cats, I didn't realize I was allergic, because there's so many other allergens anyway. It became pretty clear the cat was a significant allergen with the second one, but it would take a lot for me to want to rehome a cat who I had bonded with and was well behaved. The current one was supposed to be a barn cat, which would be fine, but at least lately he's decided to hang out indoors a lot (he's well behaved and a snuggler). Cats and I get along well, other than the allergies. In summary, humans do all sorts of things that are not wise; of all the stupid things I could do, this isn't so bad. I can breathe, breathing through my mouse is normal for me, so if allergies clog up my nose, it's just another day.
