Oh Karen, I think there must be an animal love gene or dog love gene or something that some of us are just born with!! Those without it think we're nuts or wierd or eccentric. I know it's an addiction I can't, and never want to cure! No matter how much loving them to pieces makes ME fall to pieces!! That "head on the leg" thing!! Now that just says it all. OK Karen!! From one great "Mom of a Cody" to another....Let's agree to continue be selfless slaves and emotional wrecks, wrapped around the paws of these beautiful kids because they're worth it!! Big hugs and kisses from my Cody to yours!
