person A:  I had to get rid of my animals when I meant my wife due to her allergies. It was really difficult. 
person B: That's unfortunate. How many animals did you have?
person A: I had 2... I had them for years. It really sucked but we tried for almost 2 years_comma_ and her allergies were insanely bad to the point of hospital visits. 
person B: What kind of animals were they?
