<span class="drop_cap">I</span> absolutely love having a dog, even with all the shedding, drooling, barking, and chewing they manage to do. I don't think my husband and I will ever be able to be without a dog because we just love them so much. I mean, look at that face! Is there much in this world cuter than a curled up puppy on a chilly afternoon? I didn't think so.

And I love how proud he looks carrying his rawhide bone around the house as he searches for places to 'bury' it.

Sweet little guy. Just had to give him some attention before this baby gets here and tries to steal the spotlight from him!
