It's taken me so long to get this dog that I sometimes forget that the original intention was to get a companion for my spouse. But he always said that he didn't want a dog, so I had to make it my intention to get a dog for myself. Over time and after years of research and planning I came to accept that it was indeed my idea.
But now that Will and Birdy are bonding so well, I am reminded of my original plan. Just a couple of weeks ago he started volunteering to take her for walks in the evening. He encourages her to jump up on him and enjoys her kisses.
I'm sure it makes me an ogre to say so, but I don't actually love her. Perhaps there should be a "yet" after that statement, for I assume I'll come to love her once she grows up. But I have trouble loving things that are so needy (yeah yeah yeah -- there's plenty of shrinkage behind that remark).
Some pictures of Will playing "tugging" for the first time.
