I'm 40, happily married and the proud mother to my dog Harley, a 3 1/2 year lovable Boxer. After getting married, my Husband and I tried for a baby. In preparation for the baby we got Harley, so that he would be fully trained by the time the baby came. Well, there is no baby yet, but Harley has taught me so much about being a parent! Who would have thought that a dog could do this! I'm glad we've had this time to learn from Harley and still hope for a baby someday soon. We plan to try infertility treatments early next year and if that does not work, try adoption. I thought this blog would be a good way to document our process and share my stories of how much Harley has brought to our lives.
