What a wonderful thread! I can so relate...just watching DH, who never thought he'd like having a 'small dog' with 'the kids'...carrying them all dressed up in cute little clothes...lol I mean, on Valentine's Day, I didn't want to leave them home alone to go out to dinner...I'd rather have shared cold organic uncured hot dogs right out of the pack with my kids than leave them home. Then DH said he didn't want to leave them home either, so we fetched Chinese take out and stayed home with them. It was the best Valentine's Day and watched the Yorkie Valentine's Day Ball!
