My Other Man

With his blond hair, light eyes, and -- let's be honest -- perpetual bad breath, he's not my "normal" type. Still, there's just something about him that's utterly irresistible:

Some people say that a dog is "just" a pet or "just" an animal, but Cash is the one of the most joyous parts of my life. He's amazing with my daughter...

...has won over Brian, who still says he doesn't like Labs but that Cash is "okay"...

...and is the world's best cuddler.

Diamonds, while lovely, aren't this girl's best friend: my sweet puppy dog is. My best bud, my first baby, and my model for how to live and love -- not too shabby for "just" a pet who's wiggled his way into all of our hearts.
