When I got Indy I was going thru one of those lonely stages, my only child was at college and enaged, and also obligated to the Army for 4 years. I really had this urge to get something little that I could hold and snuggle with. Hubby said "NO MORE DOGS!" , not that i could blame him, we had 3 already! But none of the ones I had were truly "mine". The German Shep is DEFINITELY hubby's dog, the Golden Ret is 14 and lovable, but not a lap dog, and the Jack Russel doesn't belong to anyone but herself! She is not a cuddle dog! So, I just saved my money and bought Indy anyway. Figured it wasn't any skin off his nose since I am the one who takes care of ALL of them. Hubby was mad for a couple days, but even he couldn't resist that little furry face. So, now 1 year and a half down the road, with 2 liver shunt surgeries costing well over $3500, I am still happily married with hubby just as concerned about Indy as I am, although Indy is definitely "mama's boy". |
