Maddie and Zak are playing with Gracie in the yard as Gracie came close to Zak, he started to sneeze. "You all right?". Zak couldn't talk as his sneezing got worse and his eyes were red and watering. Maddie put Gracie in the house and went over to Zak who has stop sneezing and wiping his eyes. "You all right?" as he sat down. "Yeah, the only time I've sneezed that way is when I come into contact with a cat" he replied catching his breath.

"It's weird that when Gracie got near you Zak you started sneezing like crazy"she remarked. Zak looked Gracie as she just stared at them through the glass. "Do you think I'm developing an allergy to dogs I don't want to give up Gracie" Zak said alarmed. "Let's not go nuts Zak maybe they're using a new shampoo at the groomers. Why don't you go to the haunted museum while I give her a bath" Maddie suggested. "Ok". As Zak left Maddie went over to Gracie in the house. "Don't worry Gracie we'll find out what's going on?" patting her. Outside the museum Billy was on the phone when Zak pulled up.

"Zak, I thought you took the day off from the museum"he stated as Zak blew his nose. "I did but my allergy acted up as Maddie and I were playing with Gracie". "You all right?". "Yeah, Maddie thinks they may be using a new shampoo at the groomers so she's going to give Gracie a bath" he replied. "Well why don't we go in". At the house while Gracie was drying off in the house Maddie grabbed the hose and was ready to clean the inside of the doghouse.

Then Gracie started to bark and scraping at the glass. Maddie crawled in and saw a litter of kittens with its mother. When Zak came home Maddie was finishing cleaning the doghouse as Gracie ran over. Zak gave her hug as she licked him like ice cream. "Hey bro". Zak was about to get close when he started to sneeze. "Oh no!!" he said looking at Gracie.

"It's not Gracie Zak, I have cat dander on me". "Why?" wiping his nose. "It seems a mother cat and her kittens were living in Gracie's doghouse. That's why your allergy went crazy she got cat dander on her fur"she replied. "What happened to the cat and her kittens?". "I called the humane society, and they took the family to a warm place". "Thank god I don't think I could ever give up Gracie" Zak replied. "Now I'm going to take a shower excuse me". Instead, Zak picked up the hose and started to spray Maddie with it. "ZAKARY!!!" Maddie yelled as he laughed.
