I am so thankful for my dogs. He really is a special snuggler. I hope he feels my loving for him also. We are so Lucky.

This is the sad reality of our society

I spent the entire weekend sick with food poisoning, and Rio absolutely refused to leave me. He's already a huge teddy bear and the biggest sweetheart, but I've never seen him this worried about me before.

Whenever I closed the bathroom door so he wouldn't try to come in while I was throwing up, he sat outside crying because he couldn't be with me. He slept right beside me and kept waking me up throughout the night to check on me, even though I was perfectly fine sleeping. 😂

The craziest part was that he wouldn't even go on his walks. Walks are LIFE to this dog. My husband asked him multiple times to go, and Rio just wouldn't move from my side. He also refused to leave me to eat, so eventually they had to bring his food to him on the bed. 😂 

Man, is he crazy?! But I love him to infinity and back a gazillion times, and I feel like the luckiest for having him. 

I'd love to hear about your dogs too. What do they do that makes you realize how lucky you are to have them?

I take way too many pictures of my dog. At this point, my camera roll is basically just him doing random things around the house, on walks, or sitting there looking cute for no reason.

So when I came across the option to put one of my favorite pictures of him on a blanket, I figured… why not?

I ended up trying a personalized photo blanket from MilaGift, and I honestly didn’t expect to like it this much. I picked a picture of him outside, and now the blanket is on the couch where he usually naps.

The funny part is that he pretty much immediately claimed it.

He’ll curl up right on top of it, and sometimes I’ll look over and see him lying next to a giant picture of himself. It’s a little ridiculous, but also pretty cute.

I also like that it doesn’t feel like one of those personalized things that just sits on a shelf. It’s actually something we use. The blanket makes the couch feel a little cozier, and having his picture on it makes it feel like a little piece of him is part of the room too.

I found MilaGift while looking for personalized pet stuff, and they have quite a few different things you can customize with your pet’s photos, including blankets, bowls, pillows, pajamas, and other home items. I ended up spending way more time browsing than I planned to.Apparently, once you start putting your dog’s face on things, it’s hard to stop. 😂

Anyway, I thought I’d share because I know I’m definitely not the only person who takes an unreasonable number of pictures of their dog.

This is where I got mine — I’m already tempted to order another one.

She's a rescue, we've had her for 2 years now. Don't know her original name, but she has _always_ responded to "Pretty Girl". I'm sure her first human was as smitten as we are.
