I moved to Texas from Canada and was about to be married. Unfortunely Immigration made me wait over a year to get my Green Card, so I was stuck at home while my bride went to work for 12 hour shifts. So to keep me from getting lonely we purchased Reilly, or rather he allowed us to purchase him, from the moment we locked eyes this dog has wanted to be in constant contact with me. He sleeps on my feet in bed, he lays in my lap in the decliner and as a pup probably spent less than 5 minutes away from me in an entire year. He turned 9 this month and we still call him Babydog.
