10+ Beautiful Photos Capturing Tender Moments Between Dogs And Their Young Families

“Jensen isn’t quite as easy to figure out. She is a bit of an escape artist. She is usually inside, but can get out of our backyard easily. We have a 6 foot fence which she has jumped over, eaten through, or dug under. We boarded her at a kennel once and she ate a 3 foot hole through a chain-link fence and escaped (luckily she was fine). We tried to crate her when we left the house, but she learned how to pop the locks and could figure a way out of the crate within 30 seconds. In fact, she is so skilled at escaping, that Animal Control keeps her description on file.”

“Among Jensen’s favorite hobbies are taking naps on our dining room table, walking around on our kitchen countertops, opening doors and drawers, eating things she’s not supposed to, running away, hanging out on top of our BBQ grill (better vantage point to find lizards to catch), sliding down the slide on our childrens’ play-set, pushing pillows off of the beds (once they’re made), and jumping onto anything high.”

“After reading countless dog behavior and training books, we looked for guidance from several different vets, specialists and trainers. We finally found help with a Veterinary Behaviorist. She confirmed that Jensen was an unusually intelligent dog who had containment issues and needed an incredible amount of mental stimulation.”

“We now have a special routine for Jensen which includes a rotation of dog toys, unique puzzles for her to find her breakfast and dinner, permission to nap on our dining room table and countertops, and frequent visits to a Doggy Day Care facility. This has helped her quite a bit and her attempts to run away have been reduced dramatically.”

“We’ve had Jensen for almost 4 years now and every day has been an interesting adventure. The one thing which remains constant is our love for her, and her love for our family. It hasn’t been easy, but when I see her cuddling with our children on their beds each night, I know that it has been worth it.”

    People shouldn’t “get rid” of their dogs anyways.

    If you’re planning to have a kid-take into account that the dog was there first. They’re not some trash to be thrown out when your shiny new thing comes along. If you can’t square that-then don’t have the kid.
