This is so amazing of you to go out and look after the poor dears. Shame you're probably the highlight of their day. I love my pets and my staffie sleeps with me every night, I can't imagine how to do it any other way and it makes me sad that so many people out there don't treat their pets well. They truly are part of the family and I couldn't imagine my life without them.

I couldn't have said it better myself @jusipassetti!! It just doesn't make sense to me either; if you chose to have a pet, then just take care of it. It should be simple, right??
I'm so glad to hear about your staffie sleeping with you...I love that!! I just left this "story" with someone else here, but your staffie in your bed makes me want to share it with you too:
One time when my son was a baby, I was attempting the "cry yourself to sleep" thing for the very first time. As a new mom, I was finding it extremely difficult to hear him and not go soothe him, but on my mother-in-law's advice, I was giving it my best shot. I was lying in bed, listening and my dog kept coming to the side of the bed, knocking my arm. Now this dog used to do that when she wanted to get under the covers with me:), so I ignored her. After several minutes of her doing that, she left my room, went across the hall to my son's room, smashed the door open with her head, and layed down in front of his crib! The whole time she was simply alerting me to his sadness. I immediately got up, taking direction from my dog, instead of my mother-in-law, and went to soothe my son ;)
Amazing right? :)
I feel the exact same way!
That is such a sweet story and I know dogs can be amazing. They really can sense when you're upset. Yesterday morning I started having panic attacks again and my dog just lay with me the whole day. They just can't help themselves and are a perfect example of unconditional love ❤.
That's it! The unconditional love is like a miracle to me. I'm so glad that your dog is so helpful for you <3 There's nothing like laying in bed and cuddling with your dog!
