Those dogs are so beautiful. You are both so lucky to have each other. We have had cats for several years. Both of them were bought for me but seem to really take to Charlie. I think she senses that Charlie needs to pet an animal and have them respond to him, roll over and purr. He can be so tense and he loves it when she comes over, all he has to do is his special meow. I have tried to meow and it just doens't work. A good while ago we had a dog and he really had a sense when I wasn't feeling well. He would be by my side all the time
