My nine year old Raina had wanted to have a dog for a long long time. But she had suffered from allergies to cats, some dogs and various animals since she was little. So the whole process of finding a pet was going to be a lot more complicated and as a stay at home mom, I was not sure I wanted the extra responsibility.
But the day had come that I finally committed to look for a hypoallergenic dog. So I searched high and low on the internet for a poodle type of dog. Finally we found a few poodle mix breeds at the Humane society.
Raina and I went there together, both excited and nervous at the same time. The first dog we met was named Scooter. He was a little terrier poodle mix and Raina fell in love with him right away. But the big test was he needed to lick her everywhere and we needed to go home and see how her allergies were. We got to hold Scooter for 24 hours to see how she did. It was a nightmare of swollen red eyes from her allergies to him and even more swollen from her tears of how much she wanted Scooter but was allergic to him. It broke my heart. It made me question if I was even doing the right thing in the first place, looking for a dog for my daughter that had so many allergies to so many animals. So she cried a bunch, I tried to be the strong mom and then knew I needed to make the tough decision of whether we kept looking for another dog or stopped right there.
I kept looking in the humane society pictures of poodle mixes for adoption over the next week and then I saw a picture of a dog named Charlie with his sad eyes looking into your soul. And I decided we needed to meet him and see how Raina did this next time. So we went back to the humane society and met little Charlie. He looked at us with those big eyes and we fell in love. I prayed Raina would not have allergies to him. We did the 24 hour hold again and went home to see how Raina did, after he licked her a bunch too. She was fine and had no reaction. Our whole family was elated.
So the next day my husband and my two kids went to adopt Charlie. Charlie seemed sad, lonely and depressed when they picked him up, yet happy he was getting adopted. Little did we know he had pneumonia and we were majorly rescuing him and bringing back to health. After repetitive vet visits, IV’s, two over nights at vet, he came back home to us again, acting like a perky, happy playful dog. Now I cannot imagine life without Charlie. He is such a big part of our family.
