Sometimes I catch myself just staring at my dog like a total weirdo. He’s sprawled out on the couch, snoring like a tiny chainsaw, and I’m just overwhelmed by how much I adore this furry goofball. Is it normal to feel this much for a pet? Like, I literally worry about him aging more than I worry about myself. He’s 10 now, but still acts like a puppy—chasing his tail, begging for belly rubs, giving me those big, trusting eyes. I know he won’t be around forever, and that thought kind of guts me. But for now, I just soak up every cuddle, every silly antic, every moment he’s just existing in my world. Pets really do become family, don’t they? Anyone else get hit with a wave of love for their animal and wonder if it’s a little much, or is this just the pet parent experience? #PetLove #DogLife #FurryFamily #Pets
