One of the most incredible things any human can experience in this life is the bond we form with our pets.
And one of the most heartbreaking realities is how short their lives tend to be compared to ours.
It feels like some cruel irony – an absolutely perfect and unconditionally loving companion who only gets to stick around for about about a fifth as long as do. But that short span also makes the time we do have with them all the more precious, and to be enjoyed.
Which is exactly what these older pet owners are doing. Let’s meet some cuties. (Names invented by yours truly where not provided. I just go with the vibe.)

Meet Ramble. He’s been my best friend for 14 years and is, of course, the goodest boy.

7. Lucy – Fifteen Years Old
Your time is our time, and it is valued.
My old girl is still up and running at 15 years old – I give her the biggest hugs and tell her she’s loved every single day because I will never know when she decides it’s time 🖤

6. Kendor – Sixteen Years Old
You lay right there until he decides he’s done.
My old friend is approaching 16 years, yet he is still as fresh as he ever. Today he wanted to cuddle, so I guess my chores have to wait
