Dog Quotes to Pin Now + Smart Pet Gifts

Recently a blog reader voiced concerns and annoyance with folks who identify as parents of furry children rather than simply pet owners. We’ll discuss that a little bit since the comment disarmed me and compelled me to think a bit more deeply about relationships with animals. This post is inspired by a particularly lovely pittie mix rescue in my life. Eve belongs to our youngest, and she is a delight. Dog Quotes to Pin Now + Smart Pet Gifts honors four legged friends which Angie Weiland-Crosby terms ‘love’s purest shadow.’ Perhaps you will spy a helpful tool or comforting find for your favorite pet, and please do pin these quotes!

My sons are single and refer to their pets as “their babies” which warms my heart. The thing is, a lot of folks identify as parents to their furry babies, and for 14 years, I called our beloved Bella Luna, “my girl.”

She brought so much goodness, unconditional love, and joy to our home that it changed us forever. Our hearts still ache for that sweet creature who left a mark.

I do think people are more aware than ever of the wellth pets bring to modern life.

Who among us cannot benefit from more laughter (which Ann Lamott calls “carbonated holiness”)?

My Favorite Pretty Pup

Here’s the pretty pittie girlie as a pup. I have relaxed about scratches, damage, and shedding, because that is the reality of a dog that is not a wee little hypoallergenic dog like our Bella was!

She loves her Mimi and helps with absolutely every kitchen task (if watching cookies baking in the oven counts as “help”).

Healthier Eating

Sometimes a slow feed dog bowl is just what you need to encourage an overzealous fur baby to eat slowly, improving digestion and reducing bloating. In addition to portion control, it provides a little puzzle for dogs to solve, keeping that sweet brain engaged while they feast.

    She is darling. I foster rescue puppies so it makes my heart happy that your son adopted a rescue. How about Oreo since she kinda looks like one!

    I love your new dog, what a lucky find … for you and her! She reminds me of my chloe’ who was all Pitty, but the old fashion gentle looking kind as your baby is.
    My chloe loved over stufffed furniture by shabby chic’ and I found it was ok to let her on it …. it all washed up! Enjoy her what w treasure .

      Chloe sounds wonderful, and what a lucky girl to enjoy that cozy furniture. This pretty pitty mix is our son’s rescue (and my grand-doggie-daughter) so I get to enjoy her every few months when he visits, but we are all smitten with her. When my health improves, I will return to the idea of adopting a puppy – I want to be strong enough to train a sweet pup properly and am just not ready yet. 🙂
