These photos just wrenched my heart. I actually teared up at the pictures with the knowledge that my 14 yr old dog doesn't have much more time with me.

So sweet. Dogs are so wonderful - and so patient with their clumsy humans and the strange desire they have to always hug and squeeze them. (Which dogs really, really don't enjoy. You can see it in some pics, too. But they accept it because they love us)
