That's so great that your husband feels that way. Mine too...he's always asking Izzy for kisses, cuddling her and she is always outside with him when he's doing guy things like leaf raking and practicing his golf putting...lol...but somtimes has to bring her back in the house cause she likes to chase his ball.
He even asked me yesterday what Izzy wanted for Christmas as he wanted to get her something...now that's cool!
