One of the greatest things about having pets is the sweet, unconditional love they give us. Although doggies and kitties can’t verbally tell us how much they care, they show us gratitude in the form of all the cheeky little gifts they dig up, catch, or even steal.
Things like dead birds, mice, and even frogs are some of the more common things you might find on your doorstep, or heaven forbid, in your bed! But, when your dog washes a rotting deer leg in the lake before presenting it to you, or your kitty brings you a freshly cooked sausage he snatched off the BBQ grill next door, now that’s true love!
Unfortunately, not everything your pet “hunts” for is as pretty as roses from the garden, or the doorstop you thought you lost ages ago. These 75 pet owners discovered that when it comes to gifts, sometimes it’s the thought that counts.
1) “She’s a retriever, not a genius.”
