Before dogs become part of the family? I got two dogs in may, and after bringing them home I felt ill and anxious for at least a month. I thought I'd made this massive mistake. I thought they were cute but there wasn't really a bond.
Roll on 9 months, after a lot of getting to know them/training/cuddles, I was lying in bed with them this morning, cuddling with them and I realised, that I honestly couldn't imagine my life a year ago without them. And when I try to, it seems very empty and sad. I love those dogs so so much and I now truly understand when people say dogs are family.
Yes they are a pain in the arse at times, but they're my pains in the arse and like a child, I honestly couldn't imagine my life without them.
Anyone else?
