Pet Obsession: Doesn't everyone have one?

Sometimes I feel 100% completely unnaturally obsessed with my dog. He is not necessarily the most well behaved, or the most handsome, or even the sweetest, calmest, or most cuddly, but is his mine.

I grew up with a black labrador retriever (Pepper) who died of cancer (which had taken over his entire body) when I was 18, and choosing a new dog for my family was an extremely difficult (albeit impossible because we originally weren't going to get a new dog until we saw Niku) decision. When we met him it was like fate. He was the fattest in his litter and the happiest… he even had a dog grin which was the most exciting part.

For a dog he has a lot of strange characteristics.. he chases bee's regularly, he doesn't like beer, he sorts his food (I need to make a vine video of this) and his favorite thing to play with is a wine cork.

He's a handful and a spaz... but most importantly he's ours, and he's family.

Who is the best non-human addition to your family?

Cheers!
