I find pets inportant to their social development. My Rottie gets bossed around a bit but they've learnt to respect his size and presence. They'll never have a dog fear or allergy after this plus he bit a burglar who broke in when she was pregnant in alberta. I owe him so much respect for that one.
I'm glad you had a dog, then. Our place is large and we have a security staff. They used dogs for a few weeks last January, but only to patrol the grounds at night, and never in the house. They wern't friendly at all, but didn't growl at anyone. The guards had the growling part covered.
Wish me luck tomorrow in my "yes, I am pregnant outfit at school. It's just a lycra pullover that will leave no about my sol8d bulge in my tummy. Oh, I've been feeling him moving almost all day. It takes a second to register those tiny, soft flutters as my son moving. I first linked them together during Frisay's untrasould.
I'm telling, you. I hate going to bed so early ;-( My husband is giving me his stern, "i gave an order" look, so I'd better run. I don't want to go to bed with a spanking.
Sleep well

Oh! That's kind of funny :-)
I'm looking forward to raising my child. Graduation is the first weekend in June, so we will have ~7 weeks to finish getting everything ready and relax. If my normal sleeping pattern resumes, I'll have more free time to do things than I do right now. Five courses plus independent study, three hours on the road everyday, and then needing to sleep 8-9 hours a night barely leaves me time to do more than shower, eat, and be with my husband for an hour or so. Getting back to sleeping 3-5 hours a night will be nice. I miss having time to swim every morning.
We don't have any pets. I've never been an animal person, though I like cute puppy and kitten photos. My husband isn't, either. And he doesn't see the appeal of the cute photos ;-)
