| She knows Of those Who do not care For paws And claws And feline hair. For kicks She licks The very one Who tries | To rise And deftly shun The purr, The fur, The whiskered face Of that Darn cat Who seeks a place To nap: That lap | She likes the best Is there - Right square Upon the guest Who blows His nose And starts to sneeze... The one Undone By allergies! |
Mr. Heb has an unfortunate allergy to pet dander...so no cats or dogs in the Hebden household (he also has an even more unfortunate allergy to flower pollen...so no bunches of flowers for yours truly...not that I'm bitter, oh dear me, no...after all, nothing is more romantic than a leafy shrub or prickly cactus). An allergy-free solution for the festive season...unless a bout of xmasdecoritis hits...are these cat and dog baubles...which manage to avoid the cloyingly cutesie and are, instead, an adorably freaky addition to any Christmas tree.

Love those.
ReplyDeleteGreat Poem....I use a nasal spray for my pet allergies that works so great I actually have a dog and a cat. I wash my hands often and clean a lot but I use Sinol nasal spray and I can actually have pets without too much pain...you should try it...
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your poem. Fantastic. But, I used to be allergic. I did shots and more shots and then I just acclimated until they no longer bothered me and there was no sneezing, wheezing or other miserable side effects of pet ownership. It can be done.
ReplyDeleteThey're the perfect way to have "pets," yet be free of pet-hair. Nice one, Heb!
ReplyDeleteHmm, thanks for the allergy info...I'll pass it on to Mr. Heb...perhaps we could start with a hamster and work our way up...
