Your baby is certainly a cutie! I have two furbabies, Emmy (1 year) and Oscar (12 weeks). My kids are grown, too--32 and 24 with their own dogs and cats! I am not retired (been teaching for 20 years and going to try to keep doing it). I had never owned any animals, until my daughter begged for a yorkie a few years ago and we bought it, 6 months after that, bought her another one, 6 months later bought my hubby and me one, and one year later, bought our most recent little one (last Friday to be exact). We are loving them!
