When the old dog of Steve Greig passed away, he felt horrible about it. And nothing could make this feeling go away. After some reflections, he decided he had to adopt a dog, but not just any and not just one. He went to his local shelter in Denver, Colorado and adopted the dogs that would probably never find their forever homes. He took in 10 senior dogs and now is a very happy and very busy daddy to them. Take a look at a normal day in the life of Steve.
Months kept passing after Steve Greig’s beloved dog died, but he still felt crushed
“A month or two went by and I still felt so horrible about it”
“I decided that the only way I would feel better was if something good happened that probably wouldn’t have happened if he had not died”
“So [I adopted] a 12-year-old Chihuahua with a heart murmur and four bad knees”
“…And that was just the beginning of all the animals”
Now, Greig is a super busy human dad to his 10 elder shelter dogs
“A normal day for me is getting up at 5 a.m. in the morning and making breakfast for all of them”
“Which, you know, there’s 10 [dogs] and most of them have different diets”
He also takes them to grooming appointments and the vet
And administers medication to the ones with health problems
Greig even comes back from work during lunch time to let them outside and give treats
While he’s away, the lovely crowd has time to express themselves…
“I grew up with a lot of pets”
“Both my parents were animal lovers”
“They pretty much always let me have whatever I wanted as long as I could take care of it”
“[Senior dogs] are just wiser animals”
“They just make it feel like home”
“It’s just fulfilling knowing that these guys are happy and loved and well-taken care of”
“It makes my days worthwhile”
