Some of you may have heard that my alergies got the best of me and I had to give my perfect puppy back to his original owners. The night we got him I started to get watery eyes and a headache but I didn't really think much of it. I was so happy to have him and fell in love with him instantly. The next day was a little worse and I ended up breaking out in hives. By the 3rd night my right eye was almost swollen shut and I had hives all over my neck. I had no idea I would have a pet allergy like that. However I have never had a dog so I woudln't have known. I have been around dogs with no problem but I think it was being around him so much and picking him up and cuddling him next to my face that did it. It's hard to tell in the pictures really because of the glare on my glasses and my hair is in the way but I was pretty miserable. I basically had a headache from the moment we got him and as much as I didn't want to admit it I knew what I had to do. So I talked to Scot and we decided to call the lady who we bought him from to see if we could bring him back. She was very understanding and said that we could. She said that they will probably keep him because he was one of their favorites from the beginning so it makes me happy to know that he wil have a good home and will be happy. He was such a good puppy though so it was really hard for us to give him back. We are pretty devestated but unfortunately sometimes things don't work out the way we want them to!! Scot asked me how we could fall for something we barely knew and honestly I had no idea that it could happen either. It seems so silly but even after our short few days with him he just warmed a place in our hearts and we are really going to miss our Ry-Guy...

What a cute little guy. I'm sorry you couldn't keep him but you can try again when you have a place for the dog to be outside. Just think - when the time is right - you will love your own kids even more.
Oh, Jenny! We are so, so sorry. Are you feeling better now? I hope you are doing okay and that you know how much we love you. I'm so sorry you couldn't have the dog you always wanted, but your mom is right! When you have a yard, you'll be able to try again and maybe it won't be so bad if he stays outside all the time. Let us know if there is anything we can do.
Oh how sad, i'm glad you figured out what it was and that your feeling better. I had to take back some birds i got for ryan for his b-day but that a whole other story for a whole other day....
Oh Jenny, I'm sorry!!
That is really sad, I'm so sorry. I'm sure you were pretty devestated. I never knew I was allergic to cats until I had to start sleeping over at Scott's parent's house. I sneeze and sneeze and blow my nose and I am completely miserable everytime we go to my in-laws house. I hate it. I'm glad I don't get hives though so I guess I should count my blessings. I'm so sorry about cute little Riley.
