BOC - your baby is very spoilt indeed - but I know how easy it is to get wrapt around their little paws!!! They so know they have you right where they want you! But on the flipside - a baby like that with the history she has had - she deserves all the spoiling and loving anyone or thing can get!

AFM - We have a gorgeous little lab x staffy - he is the absolute best guy in the world and seriously shares the love around in our house. He is also known as 'lover dog' amongst his other few names - cos he is mad for a cuddle. He sleeps in the garage where we put insulation in just for him and he has a great bed with loads of blankets. During winter tho he was inside in our room on some blankets, but once the cooler nights started fading we put him back out, he seems to like his bed out there anyhow. Also we too were getting woken up with the doggie dreams; the yelping, twitching and funny noises!

I have to say he is like our child and I think with our IVF journey, like with any troublesome time in your life - he is there to make it better. I just love how their love is continuous, non judgemental, he is never moody always happy - I just can't stay grumpy or really sad when he is around.

And we are so lucky that he is soooo well behaved, a little cheeky and fantastic with kids of all ages - so gentle and loves their attention.

*sigh* Oh I miss him now thinking of him here at work! Wish I could post a pic of him!
