I've struggled with allergy problems since I saved him back in February of 2003. He was only 2 months old, a pomeranian/chihuahua mix. I did not know I was allergic to him, until about a year ago. I thought that my allergies had become worse over the years, but turned out it was Asel. It was a surprise to me. I tried lotions, allergy pills (several brands), antihistamine sprays, but nothing seemed to alleviate my allergies. At the end, I made a difficult decision, I surrendered him for adoption at the Dallas SPCA. They let me know that he would find a home almost immediately, since he is small and well trained for his breed and that he is the cutest little guy. This is how I will always remember him...
Well, needless to say, I lost it at the counter, when I was asked a simple question, why was I surrendering him? I broke into tears, I could not bring myself to tell them that I was allergic to him. The vet asked if I wanted to hold him, I did, I calmed down a bit and was able to speak after that. I let her know I was allergic to him. But soon after I broke into tears again. Asel, by this time, somehow new, was aware that we would be going our separate ways. The vet and her assistant were amazed to see that as I was crying so did Asel start to cry, he had tears coming down his face, he looked at me and I just couldn't hold on any more. This made it even harder for me to give him up. But, I had made a decision. I had to be strong, for both of us.
love you always,

If you are the new adoptive parent/s of Asel, I would like to hear from you, I'd like to know if he is ok.
