Ha, I have two dogs actually and they do help out when it comes to stress. One of them I call my dirty old man cause he likes to watch me get dressed. He's also the one thats the best listener so I can tell him anything and he'll look me in the face the whole time. I think they knew I was pregnant before I did because they where all over me the first month. They still are, and thankfully they are two little dogs so it's not all that bad. It just hurts when they decide to pounce on me.
