It is our pets who give us moments of happiness.<\/h2>\n

Do you know that pets have a short life span? Yeah, we know, knowing that will make you sad. It makes us sad as well but that\u2019s how it is. We can\u2019t increase their life span but one thing we can do for them is, we can love them and cuddle with them as much as possible and cherish every moment spent with our four-legged furry friends. They grow up so fast. It feels like yesterday when you brought them home and today they have grown up so big.<\/p>\n

Today, we have compiled 20 wholesome photos of elderly animals who are celebrating their birthdays with their loving owners. So, scroll down and have fun browsing through the cutest photos!<\/p>\n

To be very honest, we love elderly pets. We have never understood why people don’t prefer elderly pets. Maybe because of the age factor or maybe people think they are lazy and not as energetic as the young ones but trust us, there are pros of having an elderly pet at home. Having an elderly pet is like having a decent and well-mannered old man at your house who would not make any mess.<\/p>\n

11. \u201cThis old man turned 15\u00a0today. Let\u2019s all wish him a\u00a0Happy Birthday!\u201d<\/h2>\n
