This is known as true puppy love and we all got it bad! I can't imagine a life without Tibbe being in almost every scene. When he was gone most of the day having his dental last week, I missed his room-filling presence, his happiness, his positive bouncing around and all his little (and big) noises and nosy-parker ways so much I couldn't believe it! My whole day was strange without that little toot sticking his tiny little nose into everything I did - it just was strange and unreal. And the longer we live with them the dearer they become and it is a true testament to that love when you notice the first time they let you do something by yourself that you stop what you are doing to go check on your baby, just a little hurt that he or she wasn't there. That independent person you used to be has now become totally dependent on the presence of a tiny, four-legged tan and blue/black/gray furball by your side in all you do! So, welcome to the club!
