My dog doesn't care for my 2nd eldest nephew. Sadly, she has a reason. She adores everyone else.

And we became couch potatoes or just needing to see a shrink!

How you treat animals and how you treat staff. Always be nice to janitors, cleaning and cantine workers, cashiers...

There was a time where I adopted dogs that needed hospice care. There are people that cannot afford treatments and leave them at shelters because they think they have a better chance. There are charities that can help with this , don't let your dog pass away without his person.

I love old dogs, I don't know why, but I find them extra adorable

Dogs are only around for a too short part of your life, but you're all of theirs. Do right by them.

I love and watch mine more as they age

Our last Golden, Mollie had some kind of weird syndrome. She couldn't stand, walk or even hold her head up. She was at the Vet for 2 days and he was at a loss. He finally did an exploratory abdominal and called during it, said he'd never seen anything like it, every organ was bright red. We told him to let her stay asleep. To this day I wish we had gone just to hold her one last time. Have to stop now, hard to see with the tears. She left us 3 years ago.

Senior dogs are the best! <3

we don't deserve dogs! please love them to the very end because they will love you to the very end.

I call them Sugar Faces!

He needs some nose butter/balm.

My Norwegian Forest Cat mix Gizzy turned 18 years old today, his patchwork brofur Thori, a shorthaired Maine C**n mix, will turn 15 on July the 30th, #SeniorPetsRock, of course both of them are adopted.

Of course.

Mwah

What an adorable smile!

Bet we aren't!

I think that is the most adorable face I have ever seen

Oh how I really hope so..I really hope so.

Um, there's only one dog here.

True true

Unfortunately it's the other way around.

Looks like a Belgian shepherd.

And so does yours. Never understood that until I had my first rescue.

The dogs ARE the significant people.

Also, if you're prepared for and committed to getting a dog, please adopt from a shelter. If you're going to be gone 10 hours a day for work, get a cat.

Good thing mine only weigh a combined 25lbs (11.3kg)!

I knew it was silly, but I felt guilty "replacing" my dog. I got a rescue and it felt like honoring my dog- not replacing her.

i would rather be with another person cos then i wouldn't have to see my dog die.

Don't need studies to know that... I've nested a pup in my hair, doesn't matter what anyone says, I'm still his mum. And he's my furever baby.

Yes shelter dogs are great!

Our little rescue girl smiles. It’s so lovely, her dad comes home and she’s up on the sofa smiling at him. She also grins when she’s asleep. She’s too gorgeous!

The cats expression says it all

German proverb: "Daß mir der Hund das Liebste sei, sagst du, o Mensch, sei Sünde? Der Hund blieb mir im Sturme treu, der Mensch nicht mal im Winde." (translates mostl to "Men say it's a sin I prefer dogs over their kin, but dog stayed at my side in a storm while men left me during the breeze.")

True dat

Step 2: be owned by a nice person. Sadly not all dogs have a nice home. 😔

🥲🥲

Doesn't apply to Australian Cattle Dogs! They need SO much physical and mental stimulation!
