<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I just had a co-work come by. He has often stopped and
looked at my Howliday cards that I have posted up on my cube. He is an older
guy, a war vet. Don’t know much of his history really. He has stopped by
my cube before to see my screen saver pictures of Speedy other things. Well today
he rolls on by calls me “the crazy dog lady” then ask what am I
going to do when I have kids. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Huh? I answer that’s not happening any time soon. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Then he says “well you are going to have to get rid of
the dogs. Kids develop allergies with animals.” WHAT?!?!?!?!
SERIOUSLY!!!!!! WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD SOMEONE SAY THAT?!?!?!?!?! It’s stupid
people with that mentality that set me off. It’s not like I’m
asking him to live with my future children and my pets. Geez, this is what
lands so many pets at shelters unloved. Which brings me to my next point –
he knew I am volunteer at an animal shelter. WHY WOULD YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE
THAT.?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I somehow managed to polite answer that there are studies that
show kids with animals have less allergies. To which he responded “well I
had rats when my kids where little and they developed asthma” I swear
this guy wanted me to beat the crap out of him today. Despite this I still
managed to keep my head straight and reply “well they’ll just have
to live with it” and turned my back to go back to work. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
