“Who is Zeus, you ask? Great question, because I asked the same thing. Apparently, he has a dog. Not just any dog, but a Siberian Husky puppy.

“Our dreams of becoming parents were gone instantly.”
‘I was sad we weren’t pregnant together, we knew we had to do something!’
“I knew I wanted to show off my new puppy like people do with their newborns and marriages because it was where I’m at in life. .People may think it’s excessive or silly, but results were absolutely heartwarming.”
