haha, i "forgot" to mention to my husband I was allergic to dogs, when we got her (it gets better when you're always around the dog)
I also "forgot" to mention I'm dreadfully allergic to cats when we got 2 cats ... almost killed me after a while until we got a hepa filter!
man allergies SUCK!
but back on topic!
I think people just have a bad image of slobbering, loud, obnoxious, chewing dogs coz of the bad owners (and there's plenty of them out there!)
Oh yes, the irresponsible owners damage the reputation of dogs unfortunately.
...by the way girls, I'm also allergic to dogs! Crazy huh? I will NEVER give them
up though, I don't care what it takes, dogs will forever be a big part of my life.
