More ramblings on work; missing Moochie and allergies
Tomorrow is Friday and I’ve been contemplating if I should spend the weekend working or I’ll go home to visit Lola Aids, my brother, Enol and Moochie. I’m not very optimistic about finishing work tomorrow. There will be a couple of meetings at the client and a benefit orientation seminar at our company. I’ve mentioned that tomorrow’s TEH day and from how things progressed this day, my assessment is if we’ll push tomorrow’s deadline, the result will be mediocre. 
Ah, Madam, please hurry and get well and back soon! (I really hope you get well for the sake of the baby.)
Of course I’ve been wanting to go home since THEN. I miss Moochie, and there’s a lot I need to do to make it up for my parental absence. Moochie, do you still know me?
Speaking of my pet dog Moochie, I’m not sure if I could still spend a lot of time with him. Several weeks ago, my pitiful sinus flared up. When I finally decided to see a doctor, I was diagnosed with a (persistent) rhinitis (which seemed to have missed me since college). I am glad I feel better now after 2 weeks of medication. Everyone knows how hard it is for me to let out a sneeze every minute or so. Now, the frequency dropped to every hour or less. It was also extremely difficult to sleep with a perpetually unusable nasal air passage. But now, the clogged nose is gone, I mean I can breathe without obstructive stuff in my nose.
Although it’s Holy Week next week, I don’t want to suffer the same ordeal I got from this perennial ailment. So I’ve been very careful and conscious with the air I breathe. Therefore when dealing with Moochie, I should be cautious. But I’m still excited to see him soon!
On a related note, before, I had a preconceived notion that small dogs, the short haired ones like the Miniature Dachshund are less of a threat to allergy sufferers. But as I surfed through www.allsmalldogbreeds.com I came to a conclusion that that the appearance of a dog’s coat must not be the sole basis for gauging it’s potential harm to those who suffer from allergy.
You might be surprised but between a Klein German Spitz and a Miniature Dachshund, the latter is a greater threat to those afflicted with allergy. How is that so? Because the former sheds low compared with the latter, which is described as an “average shedder” in the site. Therefore, if you’re planning to adopt a dog, a small or a big one, it’s crucial that you learn about the dog’s characteristics first. It doesn’t hurt to visit a site or two and learn how compatible you measure with your choice.
Have you considered a breed that has a shorter coat, and is less likely to trigger allergies?
@Erin: I really have no plans of getting a new dog. ^^ but according to what I read, it doesn’t matter if the coat is long or short but it’s about the frequency of shedding.
