  1. I can see our rescued, little, big-hearted, furry family member aging and it’s both an honour to share his life and heartbreaking to know we’ll have to say goodbye one day (hopefully not for a long time). This is Bertie at 4 (the day he joined us traumatised, scared and malnourished), 6, 8 and 10 (taken a couple of weeks ago)

  2. i don’t want any of them to die! i know i’m being unrealistic and we’ve already said goodbye to 11 pets. we have 4 left and can barely stand to think about their leaving us. but we’ve enjoyed them all immensely and wouldn’t trade all that love for anything in the world!

  3. I think everyone who wants to buy a puppy, should be required to put in x amount of hours caring for a senior dog. Some people don’t realize this is your dogs life long commitment. Old dogs arent always cute, they donr smell the best, and incontinence issues. Constant cleaning, worrying, sometimes hand feeding, and assistance with mobility. It’s not always going to be the way it is when they are young. You have to love even more then you did when they first became yours, better or worse!
