@condera129: Threw my dog a birthday party complete with her dog friends, party hats, and homemade peanut butter doggie cake.

4. Unconditional love

@h3atherrenae: My pup has a terminal tumor – so I make her up to five different meals every day so she can choose what she feels like eating that day. Last week it was goat sliders, today it was scrambled eggs ❤️❤️❤️
