Welcome to the Family… ZEUS

so so allergic..
to so so many things..
Things we love
things we want
some of us have allergies to wonderful things like..
gluten
casein
soy (ok so that is not so wonderful)
one of us is allergic to grapes
yes..
grapes!
so sad
and cats
dogs
beets
red dye #40
onions
certain medicines
and
oodles of yucky things..
like 
certain pollens
dustmites
perfumes
certain chemicals
blah blah blah
it's UBER annoying
but
we find ways to cope
maneuver around things
and do most everything in life we want to do.
I research LOTS and find substitutes for foods
and beverages we love
so the pain of not having pancakes 
IS NEVER FELT
because we have them 
OFTEN
they are just gluten free pancakes!
and they are delicious!
As for pets…
so far we are all ok with the rabbit
and the ducks
the horse lives in a barn…
so far no problems there..
but…
still they long.. long for a puppy..
and so I researched 
and researched
for
a
breed that would fit our families 
VERY specific constraints…
and my answer had been
one of three breeds (check)
PSP 
(portugese short haired pointer)
ESP
(english short haired pointer)
GSP
(german short haired pointer)
it had to be
hypoallergenic
great with kids
a bird dog/gun dog/hunting dog
not hyper
and...
What I found was…
a
hypo allergenic
english shorthaired pointer pup
aka gundog
aka hunting dog
aka bird dog
aka acceptable breed
yep..
a weekend with Leeloo did the trick
they've hoped and dreamed…
I had said
WHEN...

WHEN Little Man is potty trained (check)
When we find the breed we want (check)
and only in spring or summer (check) 
one that is already crate trained (check)
preferably on sale.. not a high price (check)
so…
welcome to the Family!
