From Tiny Fluffballs To Full-Grown Mischief: 33 Pets Then And Now – Bored Panda
Pets grow up fast—and sometimes in ways you don’t expect. From tiny, awkward babies to the companions we know today, their transformations can be both funny and heartwarming. One thing’s for sure: they change a lot from that very first photo to now.
I asked the Bored Panda community to share their pets’ journeys, and the response was amazing. From cats and dogs to even a bunny, these pictures show just how much our furry (and fluffy) friends can grow, learn, and steal our hearts along the way.
The photo on the left is the first one I took of him after finding him abandoned in my backyard in 2011. I took the photo on the right in 2021, without expecting it to be the last one. He had to be put to sleep two days later. I still miss him terribly.
Omg – i just realized the pictures i had them post are wrong!!! The top pic is Bella day she came home. The bottom is Lemonade our newest baby. (Bella is a tripod from an unfortunate accident before she was rescued). I m so embarrassed- gonna try to fix. Warning: dont be sleepy and try to show off your babies
This is Ren, our Anatolian Shepherd Rescue. He was about eight months old when we adopted him and weighed 59 pounds. The left picture was the day we brought him home in 2017. The picture on the right was taken several months ago. He'll be nine in January and now weighs 150 lbs (down from 160 this summer). Apollo, one of our rescue tabbies, is trying to nest in Ren's tail.
