People may stare at us and talk about us behind our backs because they may feel uncomfortable because they don't understand about our Vitiligo. But our pets love us unconditionally they don't judge us or talk about us like our other human friends do, That's why I guess I love my Dog who is a German Sheppard Pitbull Mix so much, do you have a pet too and if so tell me about your pet and you feel him/her ????????

When I learned I had vitiligo, by the most callous doctor around, I spent a solid day crying. The two souls that cared so much and comforted me the entire time? My dogs. Whenever I feel bummed out about vitiligo (or anything really) I think to myself “my two fur babies will always love me”.
I have two of the best dogs on the face of the earth and I love them so much. If I was offered a trade; a cure to vitiigo for my dogs, well I would just have vitiligo forever. Happily.
It's funny how our pets can sense we were going thru something, It's like they can read your mind or something I love my Dog "Apache" He does something to make me laugh especially when I'm down and I love the protection he gives me when strangers are around
Toolie my big fat cat(25lbs.) and Josh the mild mannered Sheltie are my pets. My wife and I trap ferral cats and kittens.I take the kittens and prep them for adoption.Its takes a few weeks to calm the kittens down.Tooliie was a rather large ferral kitten with huge feet and now he is at 25 lbs.,plays fetch like a dog and actually obeys simple commands like sit and lay down.
Josh is the friendliest dog we've ever had. He likes to bring me the morning paper when we go outside in the morning.
Lady helped me through my worst times emotionally. x-mas is right around the corner... i had plans with my GF but shes now my ex GF and no real family so.... im spending x-mas with Lady =)
My Siamese cat Bijou died 2 years ago of Chronic Renal Failure. She would have been 16. I still miss her. Yes, pets do love you unconditionally. When I had a particularly bad day she could sense it. She would give me extra nuzzles and do tricks to cheer me up. It was eerie how connected we were. She was always close and had to have constant body contact no matter what room we were in. If she was laying near me grooming herself she always had some part of her body touching me. Yes, she slept with me too.
When I would get ready to go to work or ,anywhere she would sit and watch me put make up on. Sometimes she would bat my make up discs off the table with her paw then look up at me. I would pick them up and start applying the make up again and she would bat them again. It wasn't done in her usual playful way. It was almost as if she was telling me I don't need to cover up and I was ok vit and all. Wow...I hadn't thought about that in a long time. I still tear up sometimes when I think of her.
There is a picture of us in my profile. I am going to get another pet for this new year. I think I am ready.
