“They both love each other to pieces and have since day one.”

“My son Leandro and Lola at the park.”
“Rachel and Thor waiting for Santa.”

“Ben was such a gentle dog. When my first daughter Julie was born he was her best friend. As this picture shows, she could lay her head on him and cuddle his leg to drink her bottle and he didn’t mind.”
Trey gives Blanche a kiss.
“We were told by many that we should get rid of Munson, our English bulldog, before our daughter was born because of the breeds recent bad press for attacking children… She’s now 3 1/2 months old and he’s 2 years old in a week and has protected her from day 1. He even offered her his favorite toy (that he NEVER shares) when we first brought her home and she’d get upset and cry. He’s constantly checking on her if we have company & they’re playing with her or holding her. He thinks she’s his so we were surprised when he snuck this kiss and we were glad that we were already taking pictures to capture such a sweet moment. I’d say it’s safe to say that he loves her.”
“It had to be done… Happy 18th Birthday Scruffles, nothing much has changed! I’ve had my gorgeous furfriend for nearly 18 years!! This photo had to happen!”
“My two girls knocked out on the way back from the dog park.”
“This is my dog, Yogi, also known as my first born. He was 10 in this photo (he’s 14 now). That little itty bitty is my daughter at just under 2 weeks old. Preemie twin, hence her itty bittiness.”
“Little brother & big brother, Hogan and Bogey, love each other so much. They are best friends and will be fore a lifetime!”
