    Facial expression - My girl Jade is a 35lb Mini Aussie/Shiba mix and a little over a year old. I've had her since she was 8 weeks old, and she almost literally hasn't left my side since. Except for daily when she goes to her second home.

    Second home? Where could Jade be going?

Some time within the past year, this old woman's dog died on the anniversary of her husband's death. It obviously wrecked her.

    Jeez, that's enough to wreck anyone!

    Font - A month or two ago, I offered to let my girlfriend bring Jade over to that client's house. She brought my dog with her and the old lady and Jade fell in love with each other. Jade has gone both morning and night every day since. Apparently Jade recognizes that she's old and fragile and is deliberately gentle. She and Jade eat breakfast and dinner together. She bought Jade what sounds like a mountain of toys. When we say "Jade, wanna go to Mrs. Riddle's house?", she jumps and squeels and z

    The cuteness is strong with this one. We are swooning.

    Font - shortnsweet33 · days ago I love this so much, and its awesome that you guys are sharing the joy that Jade brings to you with someone who sounds like they really needed it. Dogs seem to know what people need sometimes, and it sounds like Jade realized that Mrs. Riddle could use some extra love and happiness! Give Jade some scritches for me and tell her she's 1000% in the good girl club!

    Font - telmereth1986 · 4 days ago That really is the sweetest thing. It was a really generous suggestion of yours and by the sounds of it Jade loves her second life too! A friend of mine has a big, dumb, smiley labrador who accidentally became part of a group for disabled adults and their carers.

    Font - hopelesscaribou · 4 days ago I love how they recognize frailty. My brother's RottiexLab was an absolute rambunctious, powerful AH of a dog with everyone, boundless energy and strength even as a senior now and jumpy af. But when he ran to my mom when she was weak with cancer, he stopped dead in his tracks and just gently put his head on her. He knew. Thank you and thank Jade for me.

    Font - Toirneach · 4 days ago Isn't wonderful how some dogs just know when to be super careful? My last girl was such a leash puller and rough player - except with my mother and children. Then she was the MOST gentle, the most careful. She had a wag that meant one thing and one thing only, "Grandma is coming up the front sidewalk!" It's wonderful that Jade has a bonus Grandma now!
