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!

My heart cockles are warm, too - thanks to Sedona.  I'm also a first time dog owner, so I know exactly what you're saying.  So glad Chester's in your life...
