Eva even tolerated Molly's little cleaning nibble habit. My cats hate that. The 2 greyhounds lived a cat before it passed...

Comedic Dog Dream
Posted to: News & Entertainment
The recent post about people giving away their pets because of expectant babies reminded me of a dream I had when I was having my firstborn. This was in 1998, and we had our two dogs Lady and Spirit at the time. I was apprehensive about how they would react to the newborn and of course it came out in...
