Oh what a surprise. I am very happy for both you and Lefty. It sounds as if you are all off to a great start. Good thing about him liking your husband as it is not uncommon for some shelter dogs to be shy of men, so you have a true gem there. Do you know anything about his history?

About the bed thing, I know you have legitimate reasons for not wanting him to sleep on the bed, but from those of us who share our beds with one or more dogs, it comes highly recommended.

Congratulations on your new addition.
