A community about dogs.

Breeds, tips and tricks about training and behaviour, news affecting dog owners, canine photography, dog-related art and any questions related to dog ownership.

Rules

  1. Posts must be related to dogs or dog ownership and must not be void of content.
  2. This is a neutral space. No bigotry or personal attacks. Criticism should be polite and constructive.
  3. No automated content. This includes AI generated imagery, post body, articles, comments or automated accounts.
  4. No advertising or self-promotion.
  5. Illegal or unethical practices are frowned upon, and any comments or posts suggesting them will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, backyard breeding, ear and tail cropping, fake service animals, negative reinforcement, alpha/pack/dominance theory, and eugenics.
  6. No judging or attacking community members who care for dogs with cropped ears, docked tails, or those from puppy mills or questionable sources. While we discourage these practices (per Rule 5), all dogs deserve loving homes and compassionate care regardless of their background or physical alterations.
  7. No breed discrimination, all breeds welcome. Our stance matches the ASPCA's official stance and is not up for debate.
  8. Citing your sources when making a claim is encouraged. Misinformation will be removed.

I will miss you. I hope that whatever’s out there will finally give you the long-deserved sense of peace and safety you never got in this life. You deserve it.

The boys will miss you too. Fridays will never be the same (Who’s that at the door? Is that the boys? Go get ‘em!!).

I miss you so much.

I'm sorry for your loss. It's always difficult. They're here for a good time, not for a long time.

It always is the worst having to say goodbye to these wonderful furry family. I can't say I have ever gotten over the deaths of any of my dogs. My last one passed a few years ago and just thinking about him will bring me to tears.

I am sorry for your loss, that pup looks like a good one and I wish I could give you a hug and hear more stories about them

I'm very sorry it was your friend's time to go. 🙁

I'm sorry you're going through this. This relationship enriched both of your lives, and it will continue to be precious to you forever. Much peace.
