They are our fur babies.
@Veridoc ITA. My dogs never have a bad day. It’s as if they’re here to make my days better.

Funny you should mention that. We had a very bad storm here and my dog was waiting at my bedroom door to invite him. He was so happy. I was wide awake by then.

Aw, thanks for the reminder of how wonderful and loving our dogs are. I've had a puppy since late April and she's really trying my patience. Some days she exhausts me. I just have to keep reminding myself that, eventually, she will become the wonderful dog that my 3 year old is. (He was quite the pistol at her age too!)

Haha, my dog is doing the same thing right now too. He just always wants to be near me. Can get annoying sometimes. LOL

@Citrine1 Your puppy sounds like Molly, now 5. We got her from same beagle breeder as Sadie and Sophie before her...both calm & even tempered. Molly was hell on wheels until 3 and finally calmed down after years of private & group training. Now she’s following me everywhere I go and loves being cuddled. Pistol is putting it mildly. Molly chewed up sofas & a chair before we caught her. There is hope...puppies are a lot of work, but the payoff is worth it.

And I thank you both for the reminder of what I am missing.
I have a 14 month old puppy that has not chewed on anything! She doesn't run around. She doesn't destroy things .
On the other hand, she has almost died of anemia of unknown causes, has had severe diarrhea from unknown causes, has severe allergies of unknown causes, and a temporary (I hope) orthopedic problem. She can't go out and run like a puppy without being in pain. Oh, and did I mention serious anxiety issues and resource guarding?
For months I have been wishing I had a 'normal' puppy ..... but you have reminded me that 'normal' puppies have issues too.

@juanitalinda So sorry your pup has such issues. Heartbreaking. Molly’s still on Prosac for separation anxiety since age 1 and at 5 is just now down to 1/2 dose & doing well. Keep the faith. 💕

That is good to know. Right now the CBD oil is managing the anxiety fairly well, but it is great to have other good options.

All of our four-legged children are amazing! And you’re never alone during the good times and the sad times. They are always by our side . To walk beside us on this journey.

Thanks for the words of encouragement @Shanus! Glad your Molly has finally settled down.
