I love medium to large size dogs. I have a 90 pound Alaskan Malamute named Samantha (Sammi or Sammigirl for short). I rescued her from a shelter after she had a rough start in life. She was born with juvenile cataracts and had to have surgery. I got her a month after she was able to see again! She was 18 months old and went through a "puppy phase" since she hadn't been able to see when she was a puppy. A 90 pound puppy is a challenge! She has some separation anxiety but she's gotten a lot better with time. She's a big, huge, gentle, cuddly, beautiful and fluffy gal. She totally keeps me company when the kids are at their dad's house. She's blind again because she banged her head against her crate (they said she was crate trained!) and got detached retinas. She does fine in our house and yard though because she knows her way around. It was tough when the kids had their Christmas presents all over though! Poor gal was all confused.
I wouldn't mind a cat, but my daughter is allergic to them. The neighbors have a cool cat named Bob who roams the neighborhood. When they got a new kitten, he started leaving "presents" on my porch instead of theirs.. I could do without that part! It's a little shocking to step on the porch on the way to work in the morning to find a dead bird or rodent on the porch. He has stopped now, so I guess he has decided to stick with his original family despite their betrayal... LOL.
