This is the same dog, three years apart. In the exact same chair.

Doyle might weigh a little more than 4 lbs now- he’s 11.5 lbs now, and every half pound counts!- and he may have brindled into an entirely different color palette, but he’s still my bestest little boy! 🐶💗🥰

Does anyone else have before and after pics of their pet? I’d love to see them!

Here’s a pic of Doyle with my Grandpa on Halloween of 2019. I dressed him up like a little professor in a sweater and bow tie. (Doyle, not my Grandpa.) And while we didn’t get any trick-or-treaters, Doyle was ready.

Honestly, I don’t usually make Doyle wear sweaters just for the cuteness factor. While it does makes him extra adorable, I normally do it so he doesn’t freeze to all winter long.

Because when you’re that little, you don’t have much in the way of body heat!

Especially with him sitting right next to my Grandpa, you really start to get a sense of just how little Doy Boy actually is! (He’s pretty tiny, y’all!)

However, for me, this photo is bittersweet.

This was my Grandpa’s last Halloween. He passed away Oct. 15 of the following year. But it still makes me smile to see my little Doyle snuggled in with him. Both of them just relaxing and enjoying the afternoon together.

When you get a puppy, but you take photos for a living…
