(((Mariposa))) - if she hasn't had trouble with the dog and cat, I wouldn't worry too much, especially if your son went through something similar. I was really allergic to cats when I was younger, but have 3 of them now. I still get sneezy/stuffed up when one of them is laying on my chest and in my face, but I just take an OTC allergy med, because I have allergies, anyway. No way I'm getting rid of my furbabies!
I'm with you on the gaining weight. I won't even LOOK at a scale, much less STEP on one....sigh.
I hope you have a good weekend, and the rain decides to go elsewhere
Hugs and prayers!
