One of the things that brought us together in the beginning and one of our first dates was to get out dogs together to play, ever since then our dogs (5 at this point) have defined who we are as a couple and have brought us together time and and time again.
My girlfriend and I had only been seeing each other for a few weeks at the time in early May 2014. It was Mother's Day, I surprised her at her apartment with flowers, a toy for our dog Diesel, and a card from him thanking her for being a great dog mama.
We proceeded to dance in the rain under stars as I played "standing in the rain" by Al green on my phone...which to this day is "our" song.
That night was the beginning of us falling for each other.
