Diane takes her 6 pound female every- where. A completion bicyclist and runner, Diane said “I stated by padding my bicycle basket when she was a puppy but spoiled though she is, GaGa quickly outgrew that. She keeps pace with me for any distance and even loves our Great Lakes winters as long as she has her designer sweater!”

Just when you’re threatening him with dire consequences if you ever catch him snooz- ing on your satin pillow again, he rolls over, exposing his most vulnerable parts, demonstrating his utter trust in you. You pause. He looks up at you with those big eyes and says, ‘But I love your scent’ and you’re done in.
