When you adopt older dogs....

Do you ever wonder what they looked like when babies??

My babies are so beautifull full grown. I often wonder what they looked like as a puppy.

And then I get puppy envy and want a baby lol.

Yes ... I just adopted a 7-8 year old Golden Retriever yesterday! I not only wonder what he looked like as a pup, but why in the world his family could have abandoned him after so many years! He is absolutely a perfect dog!

yep! Especially for me because he's a unique mix and I have no clue what his parents and littermates looked like.

Yep.. I would have LOVED to see Mickey as a puppy. And also see his personality as a puppy!

We got Molly when she was around 4 months, so we pretty much got to see the puppy Molly.

I sometimes wonder what Kia looked like as a puppy. I bet she was fluffy.

Yes, I wonder what a cutie Vallis would have been! Of course, he's still adorable but puppies are just so adorable they make you happy! That is, until they chew up all of your stuff!! Adult dogs are better companions, but puppies are sure cute!

Kim this is terrific news! You know we NEED pictures and stories!!

I don't wonder so much what Ripley looked like as how he was treated. I have many mixed thoughts about this. When I found him he was a matted mess, which initially told me he wasn't cared for at all. He sits so well for me when I groom him that I have to think he was regularly groomed at one time. I go around and around wondering about his past life. I only wish I knew.

I would love to know what Ripley and Perky looked like as puppys, Ripley in particular as we have always wondered if he tail is a natural bob or if its docked and if its docked is it profesionaly done or did they just use an elastic band?besides how much cuter could have possably been? lol

Spot is the only one of ours we did not get as a puppy. I would have loved to have seen him, he had to be adorable!!!

We're pretty fortunate, Star was only 5 weeks old when we got her, so we got to enjoy her puppyhood & also saw both of her parents. My RB Rosie was about 31/2 months old when we got her & already weighed 20 lbs, but I'll bet she was cute that first couple months, too. Sherman was 1 1/2, but his breeder sent me puppy pictures, which I very much appreciated. We also met his parents & siblings. I wish there was some way for everyone to get to see their pets as babies, too. They're all so cute!

And yes, I desperately want to see what Giselle looked like when she was a puppy. Grey puppies are simply the cutest things in the world and I would give my right arm to see a younger Giselle.
