Are you doing the vaseline thing just because of the dog? IF so, i wouldn't get it. That is awfully laborious and hard on the kid....

With spring in the air and everything starting to bloom I may have to start it back up again. It's done to mainly to close the pores and keep the dust and pollen out of his skin.

He's called Bubble Boy for a reason. No, it's never said in front of him. I won't allow complaining or bitching about the diet and the extra things we have to do for him in front of him.

Well, I checked in this morning and Bubble Boy hasn't broken out, nor is his nose running. I guess it's coming home with us this weekend.
I wish I could figure out how to get the pic off of the phone so I could show you guys what he looks like.

i'm a big time dog lover so i'd have a hard time saying "no" to a dog who needs a good home, however i encourage you to think very carefully about the decision before you bring the pup home. you're looking at a pretty significant commitment for the next 10 - 15 years. it's worth thinking about if you expect your current lifestyle (where you live, your working hours, etc.) to change at all during that time and if those changes will be conducive to dog ownership. also i don't know if expense is an issue, but dogs always end up being more expensive than you expect.
i love my dog dearly, but we really didn't think things through as well as we should have when we got her (not that i could have predicted all this, but even so), which is why i'm always cautioning people to do so before considering taking a dog into their home.

I've had dogs in the past. I know how much work and $ they can take. I've thought about it a lot the last couple of days, and I think he would be good for us. Plus, from what I have been told the oldest boy is doing really well with him and it would be a good therapy tool for him.
