Same here! My husband nearly croaked when I begged for a puppy a million years ago; he considered himself an animal lover of other people's animals! Well, I couldn't deal with that! We have 2 dogs (just lost the third to old age), we'll be getting another pup in December, we have 14 balls, 2 boas, 1 cat, and at the ranch we will have *everything*!!! Husbands are so fun when they don't resist to personal growth!!!!![]()
