BillyBob and I….Nontraining Post
I had to share this story of my day so far. Well first of all, BillyBob is my dog and buddy. I love him to pieces! The problem lies with the fact that I am allergic to dogs and cats, I also have asthma which I’ve talked about before. I take an allergy med, it doesn’t really help much. It’s the darn dander that gets me. So I vacuum my entire house everyday to make sure I have less issues.
Last night, I climb into bed and within 2 minutes ..I am wheezing. So I get out of bed and go downstairs for my inhaler. I was puzzled because I had just cleaned my room. This problem continues, now I am coughing and waking my hubby up . So he asks me if I am ok..and I try to sleep. This goes on, so I get up again and take cough medicine. I got a LOUSY nights sleep.
Today of course I am on a cleaning frenzy..up in my room trying to figure out what the heck the problem is. I vacuumed everything again. I head downstairs and BillyBob sees me and smiles 
He will hide from me when I vacuum, so I go about the process. I wasn’t paying attention to where he was ..etc. After I finish, I can’t find him. I figured he was up in my son’s room laying down. That’s the only room he is allowed to be in, once in awhile he will venture, but only to follow me. So I am looking around, I can’t find him. Guess what..I go in my room. He’s in there….ON MY BED, IN MY SPOT, ON MY PILLOW!! He smiles at me all goofy. I didn’t know what to do but laugh and then yell!! So now I get to go wash all my bedding…lol…I guess he must have been sneaking in there all along, hence my current nighttime breathing problem. Happy day ya’ll!!

LOL… that’s a cute story! We have two dogs, a black lab and a Westie. They both have their cute (but irritating!!) things they do!

Oh that’s hilarious!! Dogs give you the stupidest smiles don’t they?? Like "Look mom!" I don’t have a dog yet but we’re planning on it in the next year or so. You have a good day too!

My daughter has the same problem with my boxer Mookie, although she avoids him really well. However when she came back for Thanksgiving, her little sister brought up bedding that Mookie had been playing with. Becca was none to pleased. Enjoy your day and your journey and keep moving forwards.

Have you tried allerpet? I have asthma and I am allergic to both dogs and cats. I use allerpet and have not had any problems since (outside of seasonal allergies). I own 2 dogs and 2 cats

HAHA - pretty cute.
Dog smiles are the best. I used to have Dobies. Must be an inherited trait, as father and daughter were big smilers and also crossed their front legs in identical fashion, whereas the mother did neither. Oh - and (sadly) father and daughter never met, so it wasn’t learned behavior.
Fortunately my allergies are limited to outdoor stuff. I feel for ya!

Pets are sneaky!! We have a Cat , my wife commented to me the other day, how the cat knows better then it sleeo on our bed.

LMAO at Billybob thinking this was about him for a second.
What a mischievous dog you’ve got.
