DBF and I were together just about 2 years when Roxie came into our lives. DBF grew up as a cat person, but I am highly allergic, so there is no way that was going to happen. When FSIL offered me Roxie, DBF was really not thrilled. He really didn't want us to have a dog. However, it didn't take long for him to settle in as Roxie's "daddy". He walks her more than I do, plays on the floor with her, takes her to the vet, takes her to the groomer, and sometimes just likes to take her to PetSmart. She, in turn, LOVES him to pieces. She will climb on him and lick his face for like 20 minutes. She will curl up next to him or on top of him on the couch...it's just adorable.
