I've always felt that way about my Bridget. We got her just after we got married, because I wanted a dog. She is so Tom's dog. For the past 3 years, I've been wanting another dog since I felt left out a good portion of the time. He's the 'fun' parent who gives her handfuls of treats and plays rough with her. I trained her, I take her to the vet, I bathe and groom her, clip her nails etc.
So 2 months ago, he caved and I got my Bella. Same deal, I train her, I take care of her, take her to the vet, bath and groom and clip her nails. But she is so my dog. Bella follows me everywhere, comes to me and gets all excited when I come home. She runs away from Tom most of the time and does spend some time with him but not like she does with me. |
