I've totally enjoyed this thread!
Great points were made, all around! Informative, entertaining, spirited...but Bret, I must say that as a stay-at-home mother who's 2 sons are now away at college, my Saffron has given me another shot at motherhood. And no, I don't put dresses or bows on her but only because she's a bit of a "tomboy" and wouldn't like it. I do put jackets & raincoats on her during the colder weather,though, to protect her. (I did buy a pink harness with angel wings on it that's purely for fun for when I feel like tormenting my husband...I don't even have to put it on Saffie...I just show it to him and threaten to.)
Glad to hear you're no longer banished to the couch!
