Hehehe! I've always had pets, especially a cat. Sounds like Prince with all of the barking. It takes him a lil while to warn up to most people. He still prefers me though. Think it comes from me living alone & not having a ton of company. He's super spoiled. So is my kitty Chloe. She's just a little more anti-social.

I got Chloe when I was living in michigan for grad school. I was super lonely with no family there & wanted some company. Ended up getting 3 kitties from that litter. 1 for me & 1 for each of my nieces. Yep...flew them all the way back to NC for Christmas. I almost didn't want to let them go. I'd had them all together for about 6 weeks before it was time for me to go back for a visit. It was super funny that I wanted a kitty companion and I ended up getting the most anti-social kitty out of the bunch.
Everyone else has seen pic but I'm not sure if you have Balwin. Here they are...sorry about the pee pee pad

Prince I got right after Reggie & I had split over 2 years ago. He took my mind off of the whole breakup. It was pretty rough for a while & it probably wasn't healthy but I put all of my energy into training him & learning everything I could about being a good dog mommy. And unlike Chloe, Prince is my shadow. Everywhere I go he goes. He's the first dog that I've even had as a puppy and trained and all of that good stuff. He's my lil man.
