I am severely allergic - as in, constant rounds of steroids and always carry an epi-pen and inhaler, and I have 9 (yes, NINE) dogs. And three cats.

Maybe. My sarcasm meter has been pegged for several months now, so it’s hard to tell the difference between sarcasm and stupid. Sadly, assuming stupid instead of sarcasm lately has been a pretty safe bet.

My allergies to pets are to long hairs? They hold more dander?

I feel you. My dog basically saved me from extremely bad thoughts when my cat passed. Prior to that, it was the cat that grounded me.

The way I figured it was that I was violently allergic to cats when I was growing up but my first pet on my own was my baby girl (who was taken way way way too soon from me). The dog, I didn’t even realize I was allergic until a week into having her. I figured I’d get used to it eventually.

Same. Whenever I’ve had a bad day, walking into my apartment and being greeted by the happiest animal in the world is the only thing that keeps me sane sometimes. Plus she makes me get off my ass and exercise because we don’t have a yard for her to run around in.

I really don’t know what I would have done last year without my dog.

It’s a $20 game.

Buddy, I feel so bad for you folks who love pets but when you get around one your body is like “I keeel you, Stimpy!” My brother in-law is the same way. Way to fight the power (of your over active immune system)!

Well they are not important in your life, since you don’t have one as part of your family. I’m honestly sad for you, that you will never know the unending love, companionship and dedication that having a dog or cat provides. Dogs do not judge, they simply love you.

You have allergies to dogs. You knew this before you clicked on the article. Therefore, this article applies to you in zero way, shape or form. Yet, you still clicked on it and contributed nothing with your shit-post.

If you’re allergic to dogs and don’t own any, then this article really doesn’t apply to you.

THIS is what you decide to comment about?

leave him alone...allergy disclaimers SHOULD be put on articles about things known cause allergic reactions...its exactly like trigger warning beyond the fact that it doesn’t really effect anyone and has no obvious or legitimate purpose

I’m (mildly) allergic to my dog. I’m pretty allergic to many dogs. I love pit bulls with a passion but just getting near one gives me hives.

Jesus, Whatever. Clearly the article was not saying that dogs are important to people who are deathly allergic to dogs.

I’m glad someone else noticed it was a first generation Probe, and not a second generation. I think that ad is from 1991.
