Guess you was talking to my family and got this info. Yep, mine all think (know) the furbabies come first with me. LOL Can't give a reason why but as I was getting closer to 40 is when I really wanted a small lap dog and got my first Yorkie. My daughter used to say all the time that I loved the dogs more than them. Not the case but a dog is like a baby and they require extra TLC.
