What makes you love your dog???

IMO, many dog owners love their dogs because dogs don't discriminate. They will always be loving regardless if big, small, fat, skinny, gay, straight, etc. Unlike humans, even if you're having a bad day and are acting like an *kitten*, they will still come up and wag that tail with love. This is probably the reason why many a dog owner will spend more money on their dog's health and well being rather than their own.

Lock your dog in the trunk of one car, and lock your spouse in the trunk of another. Come back an hour later and let them out. See which one is happy to see you. :laugh:0 -
I love that my dog starts out sleeping at my feet to warm them, then moves up to my butt by the time I wake up. I also love the fact that he stays in exactly the same spot when I get up in the middle of the night to pee, and I can just slip myself around him into the same comfy position I was in before
Mine is a Yorkie too, except he was the pick of the litter (full blooded), so he's like 9.6#!! He is so cute when I keep him groomed. Our groomer knows just how to make me love my doggie even more with a number seven in reverse, shaved around his "area", and a short teddy bear face.

That's fantastic. I knew a few malinois in S & R (not that I worked with them, they came into the clinic I used to work at)
All the pics on here are great. They sure make my miss my buddy, though.0 -
I have a cat! I think it's all about their personalities and noticing those odd little habits they have. My cat will use his claws like fingers to grab me, while being careful not to stick his claws into my skin.

Not sure if I did that right, but those are my furbabies. I love my 13 year old dog more than anyone in the world because he has been there for me through EVERYTHING and loves me more than anyone else in the world. I love my kitten despite himself lol he is so cute but he gets into everything! He's so sweet when he's calm, though. Adorable.0 -
I love my babies! They can make me smile on the worst day.

My dog is also my service dog (that is her in my profile pic). Her name is Sweetpea. She has been by my side for the last 7 years of my life...everywhere I go. She has been to college with me when I got my bachelor's degree, church, Walmart, in taxis, on busses, the hair salon, flown to California, there isn't a place that I have been in the last 7 years that she hasn't been too. She is even allowed to stay with me if I am in the hospital. She is just about as loyal as they come.0

there's my puppy!
Who, incidentally, is not supposed to be on the couch!0 -
Brandy was the best dog ever. She was the only one around all the time. My husband works away and my last 2 kids just moved out. She was extremely smart, loyal, and she had quite a personality.
Sadly she passed away in September. I really miss her. 0 -
This is Cooper, my 8-year-old rottweiler/shepherd mix (baby doesn't like the car, haha). He weighs in at around 100 pounds, but I've noticed that the bigger a dog is, the bigger his heart is, too
I think people are either "dog people" or "cat people", and I am absolutely a dog person. Dogs are the epitome of unconditional, endless love. No matter how they're treated, or how long you've left them alone, or how long you've been doing other things, they always have a tail wag and kiss for you when you get home.
I look into my dog's eyes and I just see something familiar - I think the soul of a dog and the soul of a human are just sort of cut from the same cloth.0 -
He's my little shadow follows me everywhere I go

My chocolate lab in my profile pic!
He is only 6 months old, he makes me laugh, he makes me demented! He learns so quickly and tonight he is unsettled - he was neutered yesterday - and started chewing his stitches today so has one of those horrid collars on!
I hope he heals quickly! I keep telling him the vet said complete rest for 2 days but he thinks she was joking :bigsmile:0 -
WOW Super handsome.0

My Billy
I love his funny personality! He's so cheeky and so loving and funny :P0 -
I love my black lab smudge because he has such a great personality, he makes me laugh with the noises he makes and even though he is an old dog now and has hip problems he still goes round like he's a pup
