We got a Jack Russell/Beagle puppy as a wedding gift in 1996.  I swore she would not sleep in bed with us despite my love of dogs.  She was in our bed within an hour...lol.

15 years later she died in our bed with my sitting next to her.

I still am not sure I want another dog. 

But our daughter has two rescues (that are not MY dogs) so I get to have them in the house while she and her fiance are responsible for them.
