They say time passes by in the blink of an eye. And for our pets, it isn’t much different. They come to our homes as little puppies, eager to discover this brand new world and full of love to give, and, before we know it, they are bigger than our arms can hold.
Bright Side found some of these transformations and we’re sure they will lighten your day.
1. “From 5 weeks old when adopted to 1 year old today.”
2. Growing up together
3. “Same sofa. 3 years apart.”
4. “Chico has grown too fast.”
5. “Somebody put miracle grow in my puppy’s food I swear.”
6. From teeny-weeny to massive in just 2 years.
7. “The lapdog grew bigger.”
8. “Still loves to sit on my shoulder.”
9. “My husband shrunk and my dog grew.”
10. “My boy then and now. He did not appreciate me trying to recreate this photo.”
11. “1 year and 141 pounds later...”
12. “3 years ago today we brought Clancy home, our Siberian Forest cat.”
13. “I love that the cat has the exact same expression as a kitten and an adult!”
14. She looks identical, but we can’t say the same about the dog.
15. 20 years later and the cat still enjoys a good lap.
16. “The first day we brought our Evie home compared to a year later. Our pup is definitely a daddy’s girl.”
17. “I am blessed, he is an amazing companion.”
18. “Our German Shepherd grew up so fast!”
19. “Shoulder pup then and now, 60 lbs later”
20. “From a smol pupper to a big ol’ doggo”
21. “My dog the day I got him vs 1 year later. He’s about 40 pounds of energy.”
Do you have a photo of your pet as a puppy? We’d love to see it.
