My Dog Suddenly Became Very Attached to My Wife – When I Found Out His Reason, I Got Divorced
One day, Alicia took him for a walk through our neighborhood. The Thompson kids were playing out front with their terrier, a common sight. Usually, Rocky would’ve ignored the commotion, but not this time. The terrier spotted Rocky and ran up to him. Rocky tensed immediately, and when the terrier was about a yard away, he bared his teeth and snarled at him. “Rocky, what the heck?” Alicia said, tightening her grip on his lead. He continued to snarl and snap at the terrier until the kids called their dog away. This sort of behavior was completely out of character for Rocky, and it set off alarms in my head. “James, what’s wrong with Rocky?” Alicia asked me one morning, her voice tinged with worry as Rocky pressed himself against her legs.
“I’m not sure, but he’s definitely not himself,” I replied, frowning. “Maybe we should take him to the vet. Just to be safe.”The vet visit was supposed to put our minds at ease, but it did anything but. As we sat in the waiting room with Rocky nestled at Alicia’s feet, a woman with a poodle struck up a conversation. “Your dog is very attached to your wife,” she noted after we’d explained his recent odd behavior. “My poodle here used to do the same thing when I was pregnant. Dogs can sense these things, you know.” Alicia and I exchanged a look. It was a fleeting moment of shared surprise, quickly followed by a rush of excitement. Could it be possible? That evening, we decided to take a pregnancy test. The anticipation was palpable as we waited for the result. When the little plus sign appeared, Alicia’s eyes filled with tears of joy. I pulled her into a hug, feeling a mix of elation and disbelief. “We’re going to have a baby, James!” she whispered, her voice trembling with happiness.I held her tight, the gravity of the moment sinking in.
