Woman Tells Her Sister NOT To Have A Puppy When She Has A Baby, But She Doesn’t Listen

ADVERTISEMENT

Back in 2007, one Imgur user told her sister NOT to get a puppy when she had a baby. What she didn’t know then was that the doggie and her niece would become BFFs…

Since the day the girl was born, the black Lab was always by her side. Occasionally, the doggie would eat the baby’s cookies , but other than that, their friendship was clearly budding.

As the girl grew a bit older, the two established a Sunday tradition to watch morning cartoons together. Whatever they were doing – sitting in a car, playing, or just chilling on the couch – they were inseparable. The adorable duo even walked to school together! “They’re pretty much the bestest friends ever and I’m eating my words.”

Years had passed, and as the girl grew, the doggie started to show clear signs of aging, such as getting a grey ‘beard’. Still, he was loved unconditionally. I mean, how can you not love a dog who agrees to dress as a princess just to please his friend?

This year, after 10 years of being together, the aging canine got some benign tumors removed – and while he’s laying there weak and recovering, the girl doesn’t leave his side. If this isn’t friendship, we don’t know what is.

We just lost our precious doggo, she passed away in her sleep. She looked just like this one so I'm crying again.

My dog passed 19 years ago, and I got him when I was 5. He also looked just like this dog. All these years later, and I still tear up thinking about him. I'm so sorry for your loss.

My black lab, Captain Black, passed away at eleven. He contracted Blastomycosis, which is highly prevalent in labs. Here's a video where the vet discuses how dangerous this can be for hunting dogs who love getting in water.

How lucky you are. I pray my dear, sweet 14 year old chow goes in her sleep. I cannot bear the thought of her suffering, nor the thought of euthanasia. And, yep, I'm crying right along with you.

People should understand how important it is for kids to have pets around to teach them compassion, how to care for living creatures and overall because furry friends never let you down. Of course this only applies to responsible parents who don't see pets as a Christmas/birthday present that will end up in a shelter after leaving a puddle on the carpet or when the family wants to go on holidays. But people like that shouldn't have kids either, IMHO. I grew up with cats and dogs (they've already been there before I was born) and would never want to miss all the wonderful and sad moments I experienced with them <3

Super cute, but the sister wasn't wrong to give this advise. Many people have had issues with with babies and dogs. The dogs often get neglected or given away because babies need so much time and care. Glad she was able to balance both.

Agreed. Her sister was absolutely right and although I'm glad this story had a happy ending, many pets actually lose their home when a baby comes into play. A newborn is more work than anyone (with no experience in this domain) can imagine, and a new pet is extra work. I don't think it's wise to take those two challenges at the same time. If you wait even just a year or two, your child will be able to build the same close relationship... and she might even make more memories (since unfortunately dogs will leave you after 12-15 years, and most children won't remember much from before their 5th birthday...).
