<p>After the allergist gave us the advice to not get a dog for awhile, I was pretty sad because I had been getting pretty excited at the thought of getting one.  It is going to be hard to wait, especially since a few times this week, Ty has said "I would like to have a dog", even once coming right out and asking if we could get one. :(  We told him we can't get one right now (but didn't say why, because we don't want him to feel bad about it).  We told him maybe once he starts school we might be able to get one.  He has asked for a cat a few times, too.</p>
