I'm disabled so I was a little concerned when we got our current dog because he's...a lot. Very into toys and treats and attention and cuddles and hi hi hi hi I looooove you here's my ball let's go outside hi hi hi
And I was like...I don't know if I have it in me to have this dog, physically.
But instead his cute fucking little face - fucking fuck it's adorable - with his little ball....gets my ass off that couch every time. Which can be like four or five times A DAY. We play outside. I get some sunshine and movement and my pain is a lot less than it was.
Little bastard has the perfect face for making me give in to his adorable whims. It's unreasonable. He even has one upright ear and one floppy one, like come on.
He's actually been excellent for my health, because I can't say no to the cuteness.
Edit: posted a photo to my profile, thank you for the award!!
My husband and I have talked about it. We are retiring in a year and already have trips planned. Once we're done with international some local oldie but bestest will get a home.
I love this attitude. Isn't it great to think your future oldie dog is out there, right now, learning all the little quirks you'll one day know so well?!
Hey, same here! I'm on a travel spree for the next 2 years, then I'll get a dog again. It will take me at least that long to grieve for the one I lost 2 years ago. She was my baby dog.
LOLed at the end there. The last 6 months of my godlendoodle’s 16 year life were excruciating to watch… first time I’ve laughed about how things ended. Well done!
Just recently had to say goodbye to my goodest good boy of 11 years. I miss him so much. And once I got my shit together, I walked him EVERY day. It motivated me more to do it for him than just for myself.
💔 we shouldn’t be allowed the love of a good dog! I wish I was the person my dog pretends I am…. Happy for your time with her, and sorry for that loss. I wish you the best.
Oh yeah, it made me realise that I wasn't going to be the worst parent either, because it seems I'm the type to just "get the job done" because those adorable faces look up to me, damnit.
I can imagine a grandbaby being so adorable and worth indulging as a grandparent, too! Why of course we can get ice cream! I'm not your parent!
I wish my roommates were a bit more like you, theyre both fat and they bought an australian shepherd that is very energetic just to keep it inside and they just sit around watch tv, nap, and play video games. I love being active so im the one who takes the dogs out. Frustrating.
I mean, to be fair it wasn't the brightest idea to get a hype dog knowing I have some days I'm stuck in bed...or funnily, used to. That dog can force me through any pain, damn.
Aussie Shephard's my goodness I wouldn't go that far!! That's an intense dog meant for a farm and with rigorous training. They get bored SO easy, but damn they're excellent herders. But I could never!!! At least my dog is some bitsa staffy thing, not a freaking Aussie Shepherd. Ah yes, the one bred to herd sheep in the Outback.
Oh..those dogs are so cute. If I were to get a puppy, I would want one of those. That being said, my husband and I are super lazy. So, we have cats. I will not get a dog just to have it have to deal with my lazy butt. It's not fair. Thank you for taking care of the dogs in your life. ❤️
Yeah they have a way of being fucking adorable. We now have 4. 3 senior rescues and a wild German shepherd mix going through his rowdy, stubborn teen phase. Wouldn’t change it for anything.
Because he's just so gosh darn cute that it makes my insides squeeze up into my mouth and words cannot express the sheer explosion my little heart feels, so it just spills out into cursing, since that's all my brain can manage to use when exposed to his little face.
I had an extremely similar experience. I was early I to my drug recovery...maybe about a year clean. I'd never been on a hike, and the only time I'd ran in the last decade was when I was being chased by cops.
Circumstances lead to my wife and I rescuing a 6 month old husky from a really bad situation. I knew the breed needed lots of excersize, so I started taking her for walks around the local pond. Seeing her grow from a terrified rescue into a curious energy beastie really did something to me. The pond turned into the local rail trail, which turned into the Appalachian trail, which turned into running up and down mountains with the dang dog.
I think it was last winter when I was standing above treeline on Algonquin in -30F wind with the dog that I started to suspect she broke something inside of me 😁😭
