Jim, I totally agree , my companion is Jake, he was not a rescue in the true sense. He was planned on from the get go as puppy.
He bonded with me more that Jodi & Kellie, but still is their bud too.
He tends to shy from Kellie a bit, as he knows she a vet and probably smells of meds and the clinic and he isn't fond of the Vet office.

But if you do spend it , make it something that lasts .... something to have after the new wears off....
HELLACIOUS storm last night , lightning and boomers BIG time , pounding rain and small hail , no damage I see here abouts.
The Winn Dixie shopping center ( Grocery Store about 2 miles away ) was hit by lightning took the power out .
Loud enough here to spook the Wife & Jake.
