    @mediagirl: I am allergic to cats, and my husband LOVES cats. So we got two hypoallergenic Siberian cats, and now I am a crazy cat lady.

    @ElbieKay: How do you do with them, allergy wise? I would love a cat but I am so, so allergic!

    We have a standard poodle. Love her!

    @mediagirl: So, I've never ever been the brightest crayon in the box. I've been sitting here since you posted your reply to me and I just got it. A big "OOOOOH" moment. Yes, it totally is like that.

    @MRSJX3: The way my allergy works, if I am in a house with cat and sit on upholstered furniture -- even if it has been vacuumed, without touching the cat -- then my eyes get really itchy after a few hours. The only way to stop the allergy is to change my clothes and take a shower.

    With our cats, I did not have zero reaction, but I was playing with them constantly as kittens and they would sleep in our bed so I had a tremendous amount of contact with them. For the first few months, I had a very mild reaction once every week or two, but once I changed and showered I was fine. At this point I don't ever react to them, so I guess I also adjusted a bit from the exposure. I am not sure if I have better tolerance for other cats now. It's possible but I have never tested it.

    2 dogs and a cat. We won't get another cat once this one dies (she was mine before we got married, and DH is not a cat person. I'm not enough of one to fight it.), but we'll definitely get more dogs throughout life. Actually, DH promised me, after all the crap we've been through, that if something happened to this baby/pregnancy he'd get me a pug asap. It was more of a joke than anything, but it made me smile. A pug is a maybe for our next one.

    2 cats and I don't have interest in getting a dog. I always had dogs growing up but they're just a lot of work. I love how independent cats are.

    Two dogs and two cats. I'm one of those people that think my pets are my kids.

    @WinterBee: I have a black lab/border collie mix too! His face looks exactly like your pups!

    Two dogs - a black Lab and a Rhodesian mix. There's a tiny black cat too, but she kind of hates me and I can't find her to take a photo.

    We have one kitty, a Bengal, her breed us also considered a hypoallergenic cat. It seems to hold true.
