Good Bye Dog

Well, I have the unpleasant task of the breaking the hearts of my kids today.  The dog has to go.  I am very allergic to the dog.  He is only 6 months old and he needs to go.  When we told the kids it was me or the dog - two of them had the nerve to point at me - just joking of course (at least I hope they were)

He is an adorable little Boston Terrier/Min. Pincher mix.  The one thing I will not miss is the 5:50AM wake up to take him outside for his morning relief.  Who knew it could get so cold at that time of the morning.  So, he has had his last morning feeding, water, and walk.  We leave at 7:45 AM for the drive over to the shelter.  They have a pet adoption campaign going on this week, and I am sure he will be snapped up.

I really do hate to give him up, but the itching hands and arms - and the rash right after - are more than I can take.  He will be missed, but my health is more important.  We told the kids they can try fish next.  You know who is going to get stuck cleaning the tank - Dear Old Dad!!!!  Let me think twice about the fish tank.
