I know. When he looks at me I feel like he knows what I'm thinking--maybe dogs can do legilimency.

I agree about the benefits of pets. And although Quig loves us both, he has really bonded with hubby, which makes me very happy. He does more of the taking him out to potty and working at teaching him new commands, and he usually walks him out to get the mail every day. But if he even goes outside or down in the basement where Quigley can't see him, he'll come running to me whining with concern. Like: "Where did daddy go?"
