Suzy and Amy both love phone calls. When Mom and dad are away, and I've got my phone out, they're convinced it's Mom and Dad, and they whine at me until I put the phone down for them to listen to their parents. Amy often won't go to sleep until Dad has called to talk to her on the phone.
It also could have been the food they eat or a shampoo used on them. Food really changes the allergenicness of dogs, because they lick themselves, and the saliva dies on their fur. If you're allergic to something in their food (and most come overloaded with chemicals that humans don't otherwise come into contact with) then flecks of it will be glued to their fur from their licking. Also, dog shampoos tend to be really perfumey, and a lot of groomers add perfume after grooming. Malteses are pretty low on the allergen level, but they do have oily coats, so if you're allergic to the oil...
And my grandmother is deathly allergic to cats, and my dad and mom are pretty severely allergic to them too. So, my grandmother and my birds would all die, and the rest of us would wish for death. Funnily enough, cats are crazy about me. Never met one that didn't just go gaga for me. I think there's really something to the old wives tale that they always go for the people who are allergic to them. I think they like the smell of histamine.
