SG,
I am glad that your daughter is getting the treatment she needs for her asthma, but clearly it's difficult for the family. I hope she will stay healthy. I agree with you, that getting rid of the pets 'might' help her asthma, but it would do so much damage to the family, so hopefully you guys can work it out.
Gypsy,
I'm glad things are going well for you.
Amy, Least, we do have a group of animal lovers on this thread, don't we!
Very Cool! On my way into my apartment after work today, there were lots of people lined up on the sidewalk, even though it was cold and dark at 6PM. I looked up the street, and the Olympic Flame was making its way down the road, right in front of my building. I am a most un-sporty person, but that was very cool!
