Do you have a furry family member? If so, what's their name? What breed? What do they like to do or what funny stories can you share that made you want to be mad at them but all you can do is love them instead......
Comment down below. I would love to hear your stories and get to know your furbabies!
I have always wanted to have dogs whenever I was younger, but of course my parents never wanted dogs in their home much less any other animal for me to have in their house. They weren't into the idea of pets and having to take care of them and especially whenever they get sick. They thought it just wasn't a good idea.
I on the other hand think of pets in a different light. I always knew whenever I moved out of my parents I was going to get a dog or dogs lol. My life changed forever whenever my husband and I walked into that pet store in Houston, Texas that sunny afternoon. I never knew that we would have made that step, but we did and I don't regret it not one bit! In February 2018, we welcomed Achilles Graves into our family! He was only 3 months old when we first met with him at the pet store and he welcomed us with such a big heart! He was so playful with us and he always was wanting to lick our face and jump!! He had so much joy to be in our presence and of course super loveable to want to be going home with us! I didn't hesitate to tell my husband, "Yup Achilles is coming home with us" my husband instantly responded to me, "Oh my god you already gave him a name so we have to for sure get him!!" After our purchase of Achilles, our chapter had begun for us in Killeen, Texas. He was such an active pupper and always wanted to be on the road or playing with bones and toys. He wanted to get into everything too.. our shoes, our clothes, our trash even... Haha.. He loves to cuddle up with his momma and daddy but also loves the attention he gets from other people too! He loves to chew on ice and go on long walks and visit the beach and lake.

Then we welcomed our other crazy doodle Troy Graves in July 2018! He too is such an active pupper, maybe even more than Achilles. He loves toys especially the squeaky ones that can wake up the whole neighborhood. He's so feisty too lol... He's our portable garbage disposal as we call him sometimes because he likes to eat anything and everything off the floor or on our counters/tables lol. He loves to play ball with my husband and chase the birds in the yard. He most definitely keeps us on our toes at all times. There are no off days with Troy. He wants to be active everyday, all day if possible lol...
I wouldn't trade them both for nothing. They are great to have around and the love we experience for them is unconditional. They are family to us and we treat them as such. We spoil them for holidays and birthdays. We try to include them in as much as we can. I recommend getting yourself a furry friend. They spend time with you when you are at home alone, they are there when you cry, when you feel sad, mad, when you need a shoulder to cry on, and most importantly they are there to protect you at all costs from anything and anyone. They will die to protect you and you will die to protect them. It's such a beautiful bond to have created with your furry family. They are so loyal and remain by your side through everything. Your love for them can exceed your love for humans. Don't you wish they could talk? Gosh, don't I wish they could talk.
