the other woman in my husband's life

I realized today that my bloggy friends haven't met my husband's other love. This is his dog, Maddie. Maddie is an English Springer Spaniel and still a puppy. She lives with my hubs during the week and with all of us on the weekends. She is spoiled rotten and sometimes a pain in the neck, but she's really good for Kev. She gives my hubs somebody to come home to, somebody to play with, and most importantly sometimes, a way to distract him from what he's missing at home. I am sometimes jealous of my husband's four-legged gal (never thought I'd say that!), but I'm also really glad she's there for him. Please say hello to Maddie.

she's a cutie!
oddly enough, our dog is supposed to be 1/2 springer spaniel but looks nothing like that (or any other springer spaniel that I've come across)

S'true. Here in Sheffield, England, it's said you should never separate a man and his dog. I don't have one myself, but I've been adopted by a neigbours, much to my lasses cats disdain :) The critter has even learned to open my front door, jump on my lap and cover me with dog spit...

A dog is a companion - it's a 'man and dog' thing.

I'd love my own dog, but I can't walk it, and that you have to do.

Now even though my post today is about my less than adoration of dogs, she is a cutie!
