Funny you should say this, as this is EXACTLY what I wanted my son to commit to every year he wrote "puppy" on his Christmas list ( and many grocery lists- lol). I just KNEW if I got a dog, it would be mine. I NEVER and I can not stress this any more, I NEVER , EVER wanted a dog. Fast forward almost a year and I can't imagine life without Brutey. I can't really read the RIP threads as I cry ever single time, and they really do influence me from getting another pup (I want one so bad), but I know my limits. Luckily for me, all 3 of us LOVE our little guy and he is no longer mamas boy he is our 2nd kid! Spoiled rotten.
