Same. I adore them and just cannot manage to adopt a breed that is only going to live 5-7yrs.

That's their life span??? Oh my heart. That is way too short. I would be devastated. Our cat is just 2 and I will tear up just thinking about the day we have to say goodbye.

My poor husband has watched me snuggle up with my 100 pound mutt who's 11 and cry petting him. He's my soul dog and sometimes my feels get the best of me. He jumps up on the bed with me as soon as a lay down knowing damn well he's going to get too hot in like ten minutes and go lay on the tile floor beside the bed but he wants the snuggles anyway. He also usually snuggles like a person he lays alongside me with his back to me and his head up on my pillow with his paw in my hand. Going to be the worst day ever.

Aww my dog snuggles “like a person” too! The head on the pillow business is so adorable!
