We should be grateful for the presence of our grandparents and other elderly people in our lives. Love and blessings flow freely from their hearts to us. We all have fond memories of walking with our parents or riding on their shoulders as children. When we witness our parents or elders get old and wrinkled, it’s hard not to feel emotional. It’s all part of the normal flow of our lives, and we’ll just have to deal with it. There is nothing we can do about it, and there is nothing we can do to prevent our elders from aging, either.
The same goes for our pets. We don’t want them to be too old to play with us. But rather than focusing on their growing age, we should be grateful for the time we had with them. Their love for us will never fade, no matter how old and wrinkly they may appear to be anyway.
We’ve put up a collection of heartwarming images of pets as they get older and more wrinkled. So, here they are, scroll down to have a look at them:
“This is my old boy, Link. He’s 10 and still very much a puppy! And he sure loves smoochin’.”
“My childhood cat, Abby, just turned 20! She’s the sweetest.”
“My cat turns 14 years old tomorrow and still joins me when I go hiking.”
“When I adopted 14-year-old Francis, I was told I would have a few weeks with her. Today, we celebrated one year together!”
“Happy twenty-first birthday, Mario!”
“This is Sadie. She’s 17.”
“Today she’s no longer a teenager!”
“Zoe just turned 17 but she still likes to party.”
“My snuggly 16-year-old girl doing what she does best”
Adoring these pictures of four-legged babies growing older? Because we certainly are! Having a pet is both a joy and sorrow in one’s life at the same time. Having a pet and having to deal with their rapid aging or witnessing them age in front of your eyes is the worst thing for a pet lovers. As they get older, they slow down and put on weight more quickly, and their senses begin to fade away.
We’re in awe of these beautiful images of our old furry friends and can’t get enough of them. That’s why we’ve gathered a few more photos for you all. So enjoy these pictures by scrolling down!
