Hollywood, what a great story. Congratulations! Nothing says love like the relationship between a man/woman and their dog. We had to put our 17 year old dog down a few years ago. This is the first time in my life that I haven't had a dog. I've been trying to get dh on board with getting a puppy. He's resistant. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that having a dog is good for him. I have decided that I'm just going to get one. He CANNOT resist a pet, no matter how hard he tries. To say that he's an animal lover is putting it mildly. I think he's just afraid of the attachment. I dread the housebreaking though. He will take over that task. He's really good at it and so patient. The weather this week is supposed to be nice. It's perfect for hitting the local shelters.
