If you are a pet parent you understand the magic that exists when developing a special bond with your pet. You may be a bereaved pet parent, a fosterer, or a full-time fur parent, but what we all understand is that pets are angels with fur. They are the true definition of unconditional love. They teach us so many lessons practically and spiritually. Honestly, I swear we don’t deserve them. They are a true blessing from above. So while reflecting on the joy it brought me to be a Mom to Precious and Dusty, I wanted to share these 10 quotes that show the magical power pets have. I know you can relate. Let me know which quote is your favorite. Enjoy!

I love all of these quotes, especially #9! I have always told my husband that our pets help to bring us closer together. They are such an important part of our lives and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Luckily for our pets, they don’t have to spend any time waiting for me to come home as I have been working from home full-time for a few years now. They are a little spoiled in that way and I wouldn’t change it for the world!
Britt,
Right! They make the best co-workers! 🙂
Love these quotes. Animals have taught me the true meaning of love 🙂

The eyes are windows to the soul for sure. Well said!
The biggest lesson my dogs taught me? Live is short.

These are all such great quotes! I can’t pick just one fave, but 5 and 7 speak to me a bit more strongly. I can tell you that if our pets are not in heaven, I don’t want to go there! I want to be where they are. Thanks for sharing!
