Dear Barbie,

I?m eighteen, pretty and smart, and I just moved to Rhydin. Life should be great, but it?s not, and here?s why: I want to start dating, but I I?m allergic to animal hair. Whenever I get any on me, I break out in hives and start sneezing.

This doesn?t sound like a big deal, but there are so many werewolves and cat-shifters and crikey only knows what In Rhydin these days ? I?m afraid I?m going to pick the wrong person and start sneezing my head off or something just when things get interesting (if you know what I mean).

I thought about just asking guys up front if they have that ?special time of the moon? or need supplements to avoid hairball issues, but my friend says that?s rude. I say, it?s every girl for herself out there, and if a guy likes me, he should be willing to be honest about something that could make me ill.

What should I do?

Signed,
Not Looking for a Flea Collar


Dear Not Looking,

EW! Listen, girl, you are young, hot and single ?so if you aren?t interested in dating dogs or cats or Yetis or whatever, don?t! Personally, I?d be less worried about the fur than the fact that you don?t know where he?s been licking, but that?s another article. Life is too short to waste your time with someone who?s going to send you to the ER for an epi-shot and a flea bath after one kiss.

Your friend says you?re being rude? So what? If she wants to date Sasquatch, tell her you?ll send them her way, but as far as you?re concerned? Woof.

Love,
Barbie
