My folks didn’t like pets at all and DH and I have always had cats, and I don’t want to upset them by getting a dog. But my daughter has a lab and a tiny cockapoo. The lab, Lucy, is exactly like a lab should be - laid back, loving, great with the kids. She loves her grandma and rubs her body against me like a cat. The tiny dog bosses her around.
