Before you continue reading, prepare yourself for cuteness overload.

I think that National Pet Day should be a bigger deal than it is. This is probably just  because of my extreme obsession with animals, but that's beside the point. Our pets are more than that. They are our best friends, our aggravation, our fur children and our protectors. Besides an actual child, you will find no other love like the love of a pet.

I learned this first hand when I adopted my Lilly Grace. And in honor of National Pet Day, here are the fur children that are a part of the Dawg family:

All together now, awwww cher! These fur balls have made our lives that much better simply because they rock. They each have a personality all their own and we love them for it. Except when they go potty on the carpet...

Happy National Pet Day!
