LOL oh I remember when I first got Giselle. She kept whining and gave me the saddest eyes so I took a blanket and my pillow and hunkered down right next to her crate. We slept head-to-head. I woke up the next morning with the crate bars imprinted into my forehead

Kirk is just the most lucky dog in the world. Honestly, I could never imagine going through all that emotional and financial stress. Kudos to you, Kate =)
