i learned over the holidays that my 7 year old is highly allergic to my 2 little jackrat terriers.my daughter only visits everyother weekend and holidays i bought two little dogs to offset time she is not in my home(child dependent i guess) well over christmas break she got sick and the doctors told me that she was highly allergic to my babies.i have had over a year and a half.so im very attached i call them my kids.so know ive vowed to do whatever is possible to not have to find a home for them.any suggestions (dog shampoo,allergy meds,anything.this is tearing me up inside.i never thought i could love two little dogs so damn much.

How do I handle family members who want to visit with their pet, but the grandkids have allergies?

What is the polite way to convince them not to bring the pet?
Good feedback…ooh, they do know about the allergies but think their pet doesn’t cause allergies..it’s any pet’s dander unfortunately. I have also kept our pets outside for over a year now!
