the best thing that ever happened to me and my husband was getting our yorkie "Keno" We have no children, but really and truly he is our baby. He will be two in June and last year we gave him a birthday party with his dog family, (the mother dog, father dog, brother dog and sister dog) all live in the area, I went all out and had them cake and everything! It was even in our local paper. That was the second dog I had since I was 6 years old. I hope you enjoy every minute of your new baby!
