I feel the same way, but with my other dog we dont have, Brodie. I remember picking him out of the litter of 3 and when we got home I took him in the yard to run around and then hold him like a baby when he slept. Taking him outside in the morning to night so he could potty. gosh, the years pass so quikly. But we dont have Brodie anymore. He ran away and we could never find him again. It's sad. I wish they would be babys forever.
