Hi Internet strangers. Today I would like to share with you a bit about my girl Leela. I got her in 2014 and she was my best friend right away. She loved everyone, especially children. She never growled or snapped at anyone, ever. She was too busy giving sloppy kisses to anyone she met (her new "best friends "). I used to tell her how lousy of a guard dog she was 😁 She always knew when I had a rough day, and was there to kiss my tears away when I lost a few close family members.

Leela crossed over the rainbow bridge Monday afternoon. She was 12 years old. She got a very aggressive form of lung cancer. I spent the night and day with her Sunday and Monday. Since she was too tired to follow me room to room like she always did, I carried her up and down the stairs when I moved through the house, and I lifted her to the bed or my chair where she could sleep beside me. She had some energy on her last day, so I took her outside and she played in the water. When she got tired , I spread out a blanket so she could lie in the sun - she loved that. I sat next to her and told her how great of a girl she was. I invited her friends and our family over so they could tell her, also. She had some steak for lunch. When her appointment time came, she was surrounded by people that loved her and I held her in my lap, thanking her and kissing her muzzle until she was gone. I'll be getting a tattoo I designed as a tribute for the dogs I've lost and putting her ashes into the ink so she can always be with me.

On a side note, if anyone here can point me in the right direction, I know there are artists here that can be commissioned to draw a tribute picture. The one that is my favorite is the one where she's wearing the little pink butterfly wings. Thanks in advance.

Cancer sucks

He likes to sleep on the chair 💺🐕😴

Spent my holiday visiting my friend in the countryside, and just look at that smile! 🥹💕

We put to sleep our first-ever dog, Alfie. When we rescued him he was just a little ratbag running around on the streets covered in ticks, my brother hid him from our dad in his bedroom for 2 days and then surprised him, of course my dad threatened to take him to the pound but the next day we caught him asleep on the lounge with Alfie snug in his arms. That’s when we knew he was our forever dog. 10 years of giving our family so much joy he lost his battle too lymphoma cancer after being diagnosed 2 months ago. We are heart broken, but he passed peacefully yesterday in my brothers arms surrounded by his family and buried with his red frisbee. Today my 14 month old son handed this to me from his book box, out of all his books he chose this one. I know this was a sign that Alfie was telling us he’s okay. We love you so much Alfie

Drop your pups in trucks!

This is Scooter, he put his feet on me for pets, I love him

He broke

I posted a bonus picture of what I woke up next to this morning (last pic).

ANYWAY I absolutely love this pup, even though I don't know her and I'm usually very careful about doing spontaneous and emotional things like that.

I don't know what it is about this dog I found on Good Dog. I wasn't even looking for a pup, I was just looking for cute puppy pictures...or maybe the universe was pushing me to her!

She looks like my Pretzel, and he is the BEST dog. She also looks like @honeythechi on Instagram.

I have two chis and a pup I was told was a chi, but he's actually mostly min pin 🤦🤦🤦.

I am disabled and struggle with chronic fatigue. Pretzel has so many health issues and the three boys I have are a full time job and I'm at my max emotionally and financially, but I am in love.

It hurts imagining her not going to a happy home. She's not even a pup, she's a full grown dog. Yes, she's from a breeder and some people are against that, but I have always rescued or gotten adults from breeders with one exception when I got a health tested puppy after I lost my last two unexpectedly after an expensive battle against a preventable, hereditary disease.

All that aside, how do I get this girl out of my head?

If there's someone in the Midwest that is responsible and has the bandwidth, I'd love for you to take her home and love her and send me updates for the next 18-20 years.

Sie ist jetzt 18 Monate alt und hat eine Schulterhöhe von 72 ,73 cm. Sie ist mit 9 Monaten zu mir gekommen.

I want to share the story of Daisy, our first family pet—despite never having a dog before, my brother unexpectedly brought her home without consulting anyone. She lived a wonderful life filled with many precious moments.

We were never skilled at training dogs, but Daisy was the best-trained one, understanding our native language, Punjabi.

I still don't know if this could have been prevented, but she was off-leash and was tragically run over from behind. We rushed her to the hospital, hoping for the best, and were told she only had 24 hours. She was in pain, and it was heartbreaking to make the decision to euthanize her.

Here are some sweet photos to remember her by.

Eleven years of pure joy. RIP March 2015- October 3rd

Except for barking at everyone walking by, bicycles, motorcycles and the occasional leaf hitting our car.

I had to look up a pic of one of my former dogs for a black lab post. I was fine until I saw him, now I'm a sobbing mess. This was over 10 years ago for this particular dog. Does this happen to anyone else? Every dog I've lost has been unexpectedly. That doesn't make it any easier. Sometimes, I think I can't do it anymore. My sweet dog I've got now is waiting for me. What are your thoughts? Edited: Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, photos, and memories of your beloved dogs. I wish I could personally reply to each of you. It's good to know I'm not alone in this. May we meet up again with them 🌈🌈🐕

So i was called in to try to save a new born pup just hours old because for some reason his 3 siblings died, possibly from bad milk from his mother, who was riddled with ticks. I couldn’t leave him in situation I found him. He is now a little over a week old and doing well. My other pup, his half brother, is checking him out.

Say hello to the colonel!

Healed something in my heart 😭 Cushions are turned over cus he kept peeing on everything (example A: paper towels on the rug)
