I am also blessed with this co-dependancy.
Seriously though, I suffer from severe depression and since having my yorkies, my husband says over and over that he has never seen me smile so much/often. Just this morning he asked me what I was thinking about while I was pouring my coffee. Of course it was Maddie. He said he was just wondering because I was smiling.
They are the true loves of my lives. Their little needs are so easy to meet and they are always so thankful for everything I do for them. They are beyond the best therapy in the world. They have no idea how I benefit a hundred fold from giving them attention.
Peggy, Monkey & Maddie
