I know I am probably preaching to the converted: But does anyone out there ever worry that they are psycho for loving their dog so much? I really feel like I'm Archie's MOTHER! He's constantly in my thoughts. I just love him so much I can hardly stand it. I'm single, over 40 and have never had children -- something about which I've always been sad. But since I've had Archie, the sadness around not being a mother has lessened (which, I guess, is a good thing!). I just wonder if it's normal to have such a strong maternal feeling for an animal. Uggh! I can't even stand to call him an animal -- he's my BABY!!!
