After a lifetime of being a dedicated “cat lady” we sadly lost our last kitty in January 2024 and the house was SO EMPTY! We had talked for years of getting a dog once the kitties were gone. It would be a first dog for both of us and while being considered “cat people” we are actually “animal people.” It took several months to find the right dog but finally a “what do they have today at HSHV” impulse stop and see revealed our future little boy. The first thing I saw were THE EARS, then the button eyes, we had a meet and greet and when he climbed into my husband’s lap I thought “I guess we have a dog now.” BIG adjustments in going to a dog instead of a cat! We are crazy about him (and some days he makes me crazy) BUT he is such a love, is gentle with my mother who has dementia and keeps us laughing. He is a handful, but every night when he’s in my lap and quiet, I say “well I guess we’ll keep him for another day or two (or forever).
