belfie - i am sure i have mentioned the colossal allergies in our families - well, Riley is allergic to dog saliva - he will break out into hives/welts where the saliva has irritated the skin - he can pat them ok - just can't be licked. We had 2 dogs when he was born and then when he started running around we had to rehome them cos it was a nightmare - they were all just playing and it was unavoidable

anyway just some insight for you!

no time, gotta run - so sad ppl are leaving all over the place - Tanstar too

So glad our little thread is full of lovely ppl who do not judge, and are openly and genuinely caring
