12 Ways to Tell Your Dog You Love Them (So They Can Understand)

[@aymericdeascalon4590]

Two more. Don't get mad or frustrated or abandon them when they get old and make a mess. They're still the little one you fell for years earlier and more than ever need to know that they're still loved. And it'll break your heart to do, but stay with them in their final moments. Don't let them die alone on a cold table at the vet. The memory still hurts to type now, but when my little boy went, (he chose the time when he stopped eating or drinking. Taking him to the vet only saved him a few days of suffering) I held him until well after. He knew he was loved right up until his last heartbeat

[@michaelmoore2802]

Amen ❤❤

[@markrossetti8520]

I held my beautiful long haired GSD paws, she adopted me when she was 18 mos and my life was blessed with her 12.5 yrs. when Our Lord gently called her home. The one in my pic saved my life along with my faith. Don't turn away from them in those last hours, be alone with them in those final moments of light, give them warmth and honor as they go Home- You'll see them again when you arrive at the Mansions of the Lord, they will remember and Our Lord will ask THEM if you loved them

I disagree with saying they don't understand your words. My dog understands more than I ever thought. Case in point: There were 2 new chew bones in my very large yard and one old chew. I was looking all over the yard for the old bone and finally looked at my dog and said, "Where did you leave your old chewie?" He walked right over to it and pointed at it with his nose.

[@mikeyrobles2977]

It shows and says a lot about you as a Person as well resonating with said traits in order to realize their importance when recognizing and admiring such traits in others and in those we Love. I also find the incredible unwavering loyalty shown by Dogs to be a almost perfect example of the anthropomorphism of how to have perfect Faith, Trust, and Love for those most important to us.

I dropped a pill bottle, it rolled away. I asked my long time boy, I raised from a puppy, to 'get it'. He wouldn't. I asked my new rescue, a year old to, 'get it'. She pounced on it, grabbed it and brought it right to me! I had never shown nor asked her this before. She's done so many amazing thing it often leaves me astonished. Of course I treat both of them equally and the same. Equal treats, equal lovies. I read that favoritism often can leave the least rewarded dog depressed over time. Happy dogs, happy lufe.

Looking back, I’m saddened to see I didn’t allow my first dog to sleep on my bed. Today, all my dogs can sleep anywhere they want. They usually choose a spot on the bed with me.

I try to pay attention to their messages to me like “I’m hungry,” “ let’s got w[for walkies,” or “can we go on the truck?” I make their dinners from real food, cooked or raw. I add special treats in their meals like melted butter on vegetables, leftover people foods, liver or meat. They both come to me after dinner as if saying, “that was so good, thanks dad.” I always tell them “good girl or good boy” and I gently let them while saying it. They both respond, ears up and they show expressive “love eyes.” ❤

When I first started walking him, he was already three years old - he belonged to a disabled friend - and was scared of the outside world. It took him nearly two years to start acting like a dog and sniffing the world around him. Now he gets totally lost in his doggy world at times when he finds something interesting to sniff and loves long walks out in the wilds. Yes, he loves new places and meeting new doggy friends.

Everyone seems to forget that dogs are pack animals and in the wild the old and the weak will loose there place to the end of the line or maybe be left behind all together even possibly get attacked and killed...when your dog becomes old, sick or injured they need reassurance they still have there place sometimes more often then you had too when they were young, fit and healthy....like a human they need to know they still have reason and purpose...

I enjoy watching these videos . I was a terrible dog daddy. I had a beagle given to me and he was six years old . I took him to obedience classes but unfortunately he never did get house trained and I had to keep him outside . I put a heater in his doghouse ( in Bakersfield California the winters get a little nippy). I took him when I was at a shooting range and the lady pulled up with this beautiful beagle . She said she had six dogs and they all picked on him . She claimed he was house trained . I had no idea if the level of energy a beagle needs about an hour a day . I was very impatient and after a while I tried to find a good home for him but was unsuccessful. Eventually I took him to the shelter and decided I should never own any pets because I didn’t have the patience. I feel so terrible but it wasn’t fair to “ Max” I hope he’s in doggie heaven now.
