Wow, she is ADORABLE!! Congrats on your new furbaby.
We got Roscoe, our chihuahua/pomeranian/rat terrier back in June when he was 4 months. We are his third owners. So needless to say, he is ALWAYS under foot and following me everywhere. He must be touching me at all times whenever I am laying on the couch or in bed. He just needs to know that he won't be moving again. Who knows what his life was like with his prior owners. Sounds like you have the exact same issue. But doesn't it make you feel so loved??
Best of luck to your husband too. I am an "outside the wire" combat medic who spent a year in Iraq myself.
