Oh yes I am the one who takes care of her, bath once a week, feeding, meds, ect.
Think about your husband feelings in all of this, and if the shoe was on the other foot. (if it were you that had bonded and not your husband) and you were told he had to go back.

Aww, you are so sweet! I know when I brought Sugar home my hubby wasn't too thrilled with him. Sugar didn't want anyone near me and that included my husband. It was hard for my husband to even get in bed at night and if he got up in the middle of the night it would start all over. I was so worried but he knew how long I had loved Sugar and how happy I was that he was finally my baby and so he stuck it out and we worked through it. I am very grateful for that and it makes me love my hubby even more that he was willing to go through that to make me happy.
