Dusty - your story hits home. I've got an almost 10yr old labratard and like it or not he's my shadow. Love that dog. He is there no matter what I'm dealing with and never questions my intentions. Always happy to see me, always ready to play or just sit by my side and chill with a cold beer and let the day's worries fade away.

This is our morning 6am ritual of me packing a lunch, and him waiting patiently for any extras that might come his way. Can't imagine my days without him. Yes, he's getting a little gray like me.

Almost hate to admit it but I've got a bond with my daughter's little kitty too. We got her from a pet store, but the vet concluded that she was maybe 6 weeks at best at her first checkup. So for 2-3 weeks I spent a lot of sleepless nights nursing this tiny little kitten with a corner of a washcloth soaked in goat's milk because she couldn't eat regular food. Cast the clock ahead 3 years. Needless to say "Chloe" and I have a sort of bond that compares to nothing else. She's fiesty to everyone else but still loves on me. Jumps up and looks out the window with anticipation every night when she hears my truck roll into the driveway.

haha, good pic berg.... we picked up a yorkie pup about a year ago, you want to talk about attached... she never leaves my wife's side. she loves the water... but has never been on the boat. My wife isn't much of a boat person so never saw a reason to have the dog in the boat either.
