Doggo Boy

#lemon8dairy This is Kessler. Kessler Dean to be exact. My stinky boy, my uggy boy. He is my first ever dog and he turned 11 back in December. Besides the white fur I know he’s getting older. Time is a thief. I dread the day I lose him. I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do without him. 11 years he has been by my side. Through late teen years, heart break and the loss of my brother. He has taught me patience, and unconditional love. I find myself taking my photos and videos of him than usual. This is my what people call “soul dog” this is my child. When I was told I would not be able to have children he was there. When I got the news of my only sibling passing away, I ran home to o cry in his belly. And now getting the news about my mothers heart condition he has been by my side every step of the way. I am not typically a religious person but I know something sent him here to be with me and for that I will forever be grateful 💙💜🐶

... Read moreHaving a dog like Kessler is truly a life-changing experience. From personal experience, I’ve found that dogs become much more than pets; they transform into our confidants and sources of comfort during difficult times. As dogs age, they develop an even deeper emotional connection with their humans, often sensing emotions and offering warmth when it’s most needed. Kessler’s story resonates because he is not just a pet but a 'soul dog,' a term that reflects a deep spiritual and emotional bond. Many dog owners can relate to how their furry friends provide unconditional love and companionship, especially when facing personal hardships like loss or health issues. The way Kessler stood by through heartbreak and news of his owner’s mother’s heart condition is a testament to the remarkable empathy animals possess. Taking photos and videos of your dog, as Kessler’s owner does, is also a common way people cherish moments with their companions. It helps capture the fleeting time we have together and serves as a beautiful reminder of the joy they bring into our lives. If you’re caring for an older dog, like Kessler at 11 years old, it’s important to appreciate their presence daily and provide them with gentle care to ease their aging process. Senior dogs might need more frequent vet check-ups and adjustments in their diet or exercise routines to maintain their health and happiness. Ultimately, this story encourages us to recognize the profound role dogs can play in our emotional well-being and how their loyalty and love help us navigate life’s ups and downs. Whether or not one considers themselves religious, the connection between a person and their 'soul dog' often feels miraculous and invaluable.

This is my brother Scout. Yes we share the same mom. He’s around 2 years old. He hates Amazon drivers, not swimming, and being dry. He has the bark from hell, even though he’s a small little blonde sausage man. I’m so lucky to have a 10 out of 10 brother. #doggo #dog #puppy #cute #pi

As my partner calls him, it’s his ‘chancleta.’ Why you may ask? Bc sometimes he is just a rotten boy, & the others he does this! Either way, he is forever my partner’s baby boy! His name is Shadow! #dogs #Lemon8 #pitbull #cutecore

Hes a 9 year old Siberian husky, malamute, white shepherd mix. 🐾 He’s fluffy, goofy, thirsty, sleepy and a dedicated doggo. He enjoys taking naps in cool dark corners, only enjoys playing with new toys, hanging out with his human dad, air conditioning, sun bathing, being outside during storm
