When my husband's old jack russell died, he cried like I had never seen before. My sons were confused about why their dad was so upset. I still miss that old dog and it's been years.

It took 17 years before I could convince my husband to get a dog. He was never around dogs much growing up. We've been married almost 39 years and have always had a dog. They add such a richness to life, especially when you become empty nesters.🐶💖

[@saltycat662]

My husband always loved dogs but I convinced him to get pet rats. He wasn't keen on the idea but he would never tell me no to taking in a pet. He knows when he met me that I was an animal lover. He bonded with the rats and he still mourns our favorite pet rat many years later. He has since become an animal lover himself. He used to help care for wild raccoons and stray cats at his workplace, he recently retired so he doesn't see them anymore. Now he enjoys putting up bird houses and feeders and watches the neighborhood birdies.

god bless ❤️🥰 you never know how an animal is going to affect you until you get one. for me it was my guinea pigs. i have always been a dog/reptile person, but i was suddenly given guinea pigs after i was approached at work by 2 different people who couldn’t keep their pigs. now, i’m absolutely obsessed and i am forever grateful that my situation ended up the way it did. im so glad that they were given to me, otherwise one of them was about to be released into the wild (it wouldn’t have survived our illinois winter storms) these little piggies are loved and are showered in attention and healthy treats all the time! they do take up a lot of my time and space in my home but i wouldn’t have it any other way.

[@henrimatisse7481]

this connection with a dog reminds me of Pris, a dog I met at the Sedona AZ kill shelter while volunteering there. She barked at all visitors but apparently just the first time she saw them. I wanted a dog so they gave her to me for $15. Turned out she was a Malinois mix and not high strung. She bonded to me immediately and we went on trail with no leash because she came back to see me regularly. Great dog

[@sassy2086]

She has the most amazing ears! They used to call them "Flying Nun" ears after an old tv series with Sally Fields...the hat that went with the habit outfit looked like it was ready to "take off" flying! So cute.

[@tylerheinrichs2806]

Seeing how cute and cuddly this dog is really made my day. I'm hoping to adopt a dog from my local SPCA who has ears that stick out even MORE than this dog's ears. I need better finances before I can afford to take care of a dog, so I'm sure someone else will pick her up first because she's adorable. But she's mine if she's still there at the shelter when I'm ready ❤️

Our younger 2nd cat was so loving instantly. We went in 1 at a time at the shelter & held her. She nuzzled our faces. But she had been up to been euthanized at a shelter. She was saved by the Humane Society. Then she was adopted & returned. When she came to us she had such anxiety & abandonment issues. She cried off & on all day & night. If I left our screen open & went outside she cried at the door. Now she doesn’t cry all the time & now that I’m less anxious & stressed her anxiety is gone. She’s my therapy cat. When I stress out, she cries & demands I pet her.
