FurKid

[Hazel & Chester Wayte]

Well I never thought I would be a "dog person" or even get so attached to one that I would feel such amazing love and emotion over the little guy.

I didn't think it was possible to get so attached to a dog. As a child my family never had indoor dogs.. or cats. I don't remember ever going to a vet with any of the childhood pets.

I now can no longer walk past the Pet Valu store, or Dog Barkery, or the pet section of a grocery store without a care. I race home from work to be greeted by a tail wagging friend full of unconditional love. I consider reducing my work week to spend more time with him.

He is allowed on the furniture, I don't care if I have dog hair on my clothes, I scoop his poop - and inspect consistency if needed. I never used to understand how people could spend hundreds on a pet at the vet or toys. I can now..

 

Well all this was before we We have had Chester for almost 2 weeks- he is 10 weeks old now. But not only has he warmed my cold toes when I stand on a tile he has just been sleeping 'Bear Rug style' on..but he has also warmed the cockles of my heart!

My Husband built a mini ceramic tile floor so our puppy could be more comfortable in our rec room ( Chester wouldn't settle for long on the carpet.)

 

He has changed our lives, we have both lost weight, we are more active, happier, and have a great new focus to our lives.

I am proud to have a furkid- (A term I would have rolled my eyes at pre-Chester.)..He is the best thing to have happened to us!

[Julie and Maggie]

Oooh, weight loss! I'll have to check myself. No seriously, we love wine in our house and leading up to bringing Maggie home I went on a wine diet just because I knew how exhausting the first couple weeks can be. Hopefully that will shave off some calories. 

 

I love your sentiments here too and I share them with you. Never thought I would be a dog person either. So happy for you and cute Chester.

[Jennifer,Chloe & Myla]

I agree that you don't know the love of a dog until you have ine of your own. Great blog and congrats!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

What a wonderful, sweet blog about your precious puppy, Chester. They just find their way right into your heart, don't they? You just can't understand until it happens to you!! Congratulations!

[Traci -Bexter & Maggie]

So sweet!  I understand!

[Dori & Rua]

Hazel, boy do I hear you.  I was you!  I was not a dog person and just couldn't get that people would want to have one.  Rua is the best thing that ever happened to me, too!

[Nina, Phil, Harlow & Lacey]

Yes, our doods are addictive!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Yes, they certainly bring so much love and joy into our lives.  Great story.

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Such a cute story and here is the next thing that will happen to you - you'll start to think "Chester needs a playmate"!  That's what happened at our house and now look!!!!  Just remember 2 doodles are twice the love - LOL!!

[Carol and Banjo]

You've summed it up perfectly!    We've just rushed back from a few days away...too late to pick up our furkid....can't wait for the morning so we can run over and get him!   After 19 months we're still amazed at our transformation....from rolling our eyes at "those" people to BEING "those" people!

[Camilla and Darwin]

I loved this post and I can relate in so many ways. Darwin is our first "kid" and he has made us so much more of a family. DH and I did not expect to fall for him as much as we did, and we just love having him in our family. I can't believe there are people who don't like dogs. How is that even possible?
