My first pet as an adult was a cat. She was a great pet for us at the time, because we both worked full time and were out of the house for most of the day. But I longed for a dog, and back in 2011, when my daughter was in kindergarten, we started researching dogs. Since I’m home most of the day, it was a great time for us to get a family dog. In the spring, we adopted our Havanese dog Polly, and she’s been a great companion to all of us since then.
Most days, when I’m working at my computer, she’s sitting on her perch looking out the window (even when her bed is falling off the ottoman, as shown above), right by my side. She is definitely a family dog though, and is happiest when all of her “people” are together under one roof. If anyone is out at night, she sits by the front door, waiting for them to come home. She’s a huge source of comfort, and seems to know when someone is sad or just needs a little extra “Polly attention”. We are so happy to have her.
