Like a bandaid...

Well, we took poor ol' Tex to the animal shelter yesterday. We decided that once we made the decision we better just take him quick and get it over with. Like ripping off a bandaid! There were a lot of tears once we started talking about it but they were actually really calm and great when we actually took him. The people there were super! They suggested that we get a Maltese or a Labradoodle next time since they are supposed to be really hypoallergenic. Brian read online that if you are allergic to the saliva of one dog, you are usually allergic to all dog saliva. We think that is the main problem with our boys. Although Zack had been snuggling the dog in the morning with his shirt off and ended up with HUGE hives all over his upper chest, neck, and face from him so it may just be the dander. We are going to try having the kids spend some time with those breeds and see if they are allergic before we get one this time. Anyhoo, it's over and they survived. I took them for an ice cream cone from McDonald's right after to boost their spirits. It seemed to work!  It's all good!
