Oh, I noticed. We've adopted a 12-year-old pooch from a local rescue. "Arnie" likes his food and drink, and rapidly gained back the weight he lost being shuffled around animal shelters. He likes his food and drink so much that he needs to go outside OFTEN to do his business.

Out we went, again and again, despite the rain coming down in buckets. We were both soaked, but my little buddy started shivering. We went upstairs and into the bathroom. I turned on the space heater, put Arnie down a decent distance away from it and towled him off.

I caught him looking at me. His eyes were saying, "No one ever did this for me before." I replied, "Better get used to it. We spoil our animals."

His shivering ceasing almost immediately. The wagging tail was my reward.
