They bring so much joy into my life and the lives of my family. I have to share this story:
My dh has always been a "dog" person. He had his last dog for 17 years and the dog went through the death of dh's dad, his college graduation, two marriages, one divorce, and the birth of our son. He was my dh's
dog. He became an
on my husband's birthday in 2005.
Since that time, my husband has REFUSED to really love another animal. He won't get another dog for himself. He doesn't care too much for my cocker spaniel (because Rosco is not an outdoor dog) and he has never been a big fan of cats. Well...supposedly.
Since Rex came into our lives, he instantly bonded with my husband...and my husband with him. Rex likes to ride on dh's sholder all through the house and at night, dh picks up Rex and takes him to BED with him! My dh NEVER did that with Blue or Sissy and he also doesn't do it with Chloe. He doesn't care if they sleep on the bed, of course, but he doesn't initiate them going there either.
Don't you just love when someone tell you they don't like a certain type of animal only to later fall completely in love with it???
How can you resist, though? That is the joy of animals!
