ok this might be a little sappy..

[Teegy]

I'm so with you on this. I got Teegy three weeks before my dad died from an accident. I think often this little guy has saved me and kept me sane and I love him to bits

I know what you mean... Izzy has melted my heart more then any other dog...( And i LOOOOVE the fact that she really does follow me wherever I go around the house, bathroom, kitchen, basement and if I'm sitting at the computer...she will come and lay at my feet...I'm always in her sight..

She is the little " 9 month old baby" that will never grow up and will always need me...I can't imagin my life without her

And this is the main reason why I think we are so besotted with these little creatures. Whether they will never grow to be larger then infants or toddlers. They are our babies that will never grow up. They will forever depend on us for absolutely everything. They will never begin to pull away from us and start to assert their independence and rather be with their friends, etc... We love them for their need for us and the fact that they so readily show it. Whether we've had skinkids or not, we've never gotten this particular kind of love before. Skinkids grow up, pull away and leave. These babies will not. They will always look at us with that undying, unconditional love. We get that from no one and nothing else. How can you not respond to that and nearly cry when you reflect back at it?

I completely agree with everyone, I've only had Stuart in my life for 2 months but he's the love of my life! he's just so loving and his personality is the sweetest. I feel SO proud of him when people tell me he's a great dog and I can't count how many times I tell him I love him on a daily basis haha
I was actually just sitting here and thinking how lonely I am at home because he went to day-care an hour ago!

I have to agreed with everyone. I don't know what I would do with Pixie. My job just got eliminated where I work so I'm happy to have her to cuddle with and talke too. They seem to know when your hurting and sad or happy.
