Any ideas for a non-allergic pet?

I was shopping at Amazon.com today and noticed that a href=”http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fb%3Fnode%3D12923371tag=wwwviolentkicomlinkCode=ur2camp=1789creative=9325″pet supplies were greatly marked down./aimg src=”http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=wwwviolentkicoml=ur2o=1″ width=”1″ height=”1″ border=”0″ alt=”” style=”border:none !important; margin:0px !important;” / The pet supplies on sale ranged from a href=”http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fb%3Fie%3DUTF8%26node%3D492846011%252C518088011%26pf_rd%5Fm%3DATVPDKIKX0DER%26pf%5Frd%5Fs%3Dgp-center5%26pf%5Frd%5Fr%3D04F6YJT3SRPA8HZ2JJMP%26pf%5Frd%5Ft%3D101%26pf%5Frd%5Fp%3D381631601%26pf%5Frd%5Fi%3D12923371tag=wwwviolentkicomlinkCode=ur2camp=1789creative=9325″dog beds/aimg src=”http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=wwwviolentkicoml=ur2o=1″ width=”1″ height=”1″ border=”0″ alt=”” style=”border:none !important; margin:0px !important;” / to a href=”http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FREP-CAL-HERPTIVITE-Multivitamin-BLUE-BOTTLE%2Fdp%2FB00076HT3S%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dpet-supplies%26qid%3D1250253716%26sr%3D1-9tag=wwwviolentkicomlinkCode=ur2camp=1789creative=9325″multivitamins for reptiles./aimg src=”http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=wwwviolentkicoml=ur2o=1″ width=”1″ height=”1″ border=”0″ alt=”” style=”border:none !important; margin:0px !important;” /br / br /I sadly looked at these items and realized that I have no pets as I am allergic to most four-legged animals and even some two-legged animals. We had two wonderful cats but had to find new homes for them after myself and my daughter became violently ill for months on end due to allergies. br /br /I remember growing up with collies and beagles and how much fun it was to have a pet to run around with. Unfortunately, in my household, we are totally pet free. All the other animals I can think of to get seem like no fun or too much trouble. A lizard seems really dull and the last fish we had died. I know this just sounds like a sob story (okay, if this is the worst of my problems, not much going on in my life) but does anyone have any suggestions for allergy-free pets that might be more suitable? Or, if you are pet-free due to allergies, how do you or your kids cope?
