People who don’t understand pets, I don’t get you. Welcoming a pet into your home is like getting a new brother/sister/child that you don’t have to worry about starting a college fund for. I don’t know what goes on in the human brain that makes my ovaries melt when I see a kitty with bulging eyes or a puppy with a tongue hanging out of its mouth but I will not argue with it. Check out these before and after pics of family pets as cute little young-ins juxtaposed with them as full grown animals. While I wish there was a machine that made puppies stay puppies forever I’ll just have to except that full grown animals are going to be marginally less cute just marginally.
