There is something deeply comforting about the love of a pet: steady, loyal, and always present. They share our days, our quiet moments, and our homes. This February, we’re celebrating the pets who fill our lives with love.

She is so sweet, loving, funny, the best cuddle bug, and always has us laughing!

He is just so funny, silly, and cuddly.  We love the way he sits like a perfect gentleman with his front paws crossed.  I especially love what he does when he gets the zoomies. Because of his large size, he runs full speed ahead on the wood floors, trying to get traction. He reminds me of a cartoon character. He’s even been known to bounce off the walls!  Any bug in the house, he’s gonna find it and take care of it.  He is very social!  No matter who comes over immediately want to be involved. He brings toys to strangers like a dog and will play fetch.  Plumbers, electricians, and contractors. They all become friends with him and will stop to play with him during work.  He sits by them no matter how loud or how busy they are. He’s become very popular.

Callie is the fur baby we needed. We all love her. Cheddar is the best big buddy, cleaning up and taking care of her.

Chloe came to us at a sad time in our lives. My mom had just passed, and we needed someone to lighten the mood. Chloe did just that. She has been by our side through it all-Old houses, new houses, new babies growing into toddlers, and now teenage boys. She has gone from being the main attraction to being an observer of busy lives passing by her each day. Chloe has given us so much, and in her old age, we try to make these last years of her life as sweet as possible for her.

Louis keeps Dione company during the day when the house is quiet and empty. She works from home, and Louis is always by her side on calls, occasionally making an appearance and always providing cuddles. He is truly a "velcro" dog that follows her everywhere, including the bathroom, and provides constant companionship and love.

Training a puppy is tough, but we all bonded with her very quickly and just adore her! We find ourselves outside more, chatting with the other "dog parents." It's been fun watching her lean and grow together. We started a group obedience class with her, which is the first step to getting her ready to be trained as a therapy dog. My two oldest children have come with me, and it's been a fun bonding activity for all of us.

In every way. We love him!

Lamar is the ultimate snuggle lap dog.  If you sit on the couch, you'd better believe that all 90 lbs of him will find his way to your lap in no time.  Dogs love unconditionally, and they have a way of sensing when their humans need extra love after a rough day.  Libby and Lamar are the best "siblings" to their human brother, Christian. When people ask him about being an only child, he often responds, "No, I have Libby and Lamar."

He welcomes us home in a way that makes us never want to leave again!

As my husband and I are now empty-nesters, Percy is just perfect for filling that void in our lives.

We are a busy family with three daughters in elementary school. We are always rushing to a meeting, practice, playdate, or party. As the girls get older, they have different interests and hobbies, but one thing stays consistent - time for Philly! Whether it’s curling up on the couch, reading, or playing outside, she’s always by our sides!

I have been a dog owner all my life, and Nolan is genuinely the best-behaved dog we’ve ever owned. He loves everyone he meets and wants to be with his people as much as possible. He is a giant sweetheart!

I always had big dogs. I never saw myself as a little dog mom, but boy, do I love to snuggle since it relaxes me. I’ll have to scoop her up where she is perfectly content in my arms. My boys are getting bigger, so when I get to hold sissy like a baby, it’s Chihuahua therapy.
