Hi Erin! Oh, a Bouvier.......knew it was a "biggie" of some sort. Years ago when I was married and before kids, we had two German Shepherds which I loved. But now with the advanced MS, I certainly couldn't handle one, so I know how your Mom must feel! As to the allergy situation, Bichon Frise's and Poodles are supposed to be non-allergic since they don't shed. That was great, just had to have her groomed every two months. Found one toward the end that came to the house and had a self-contained "salon" in their truck so everything was done in the driveway. Zoomin' Groomin'.

Were you able to get to your doctor's appointment? We've had yucky rain, sleet and fog here in PA but think there's some snow on the horizon. Probably coming from you guys out there. My daughter lives in Ohio and I'm always telling her she can keep the miserable weather out there. We usually get it a couple days later. Hope the dr. had some solutions to your problems. It's so frustrating to go and they say, "yes, you still have MS", I could have told them that much!!!!

Hope you got to Quiznos too!! Those chips sounded good. Tried to find the dill variety around here and nobody seems to carry them.

Take care......
