Seattle - glad you dropped by - yes puppy is special - but almost not a puppy anymore - April 1 is it's birthday. I bought it for C as a wedding anniversary gift just before the bomb - If you read my thread just after the first of the month and the hot tub thing, I got the feeling then that she felt that puppy was the only one that really loved her. When we were doing the seperation papers I felt that this might be a good way to keep contact so I had her put it in that if anything happened to her then I would get puppy back rather than to her side of family. and then to make sure that puppy continued to know me I have visitation so that he will stay friendly with me.
C had a Chichuachua that she really loved that was hit by a car just before we met and I thought she would like another one - that gift did go over really well - just not enough to stop the bomb.
