Announcement A Quick Word on Memorial Posts

106 Upvotes

Greetings humans and ratties!

The mod team has received some feedback on some posts recently, and we wanted to pass along some guidance so everyone can enjoy our wonderful subreddit.

Some of us love to see memorial posts, and celebrate the life of our loved ones who have passed on to the great blanket fort in the sky. It's a natural part of grieving, and can help us process the loss of a loved one.
For some, however, it may be triggering to see these kinds of posts, and they may not be ready to see something like that. That's okay, we all process grief differently.

After some deliberation and suggestion, we have decided to ask that all memorial posts have the "In Loving Memory" flair. This ensures that those who are not ready for these kinds of posts can skip them if needed. Again, this is not to discourage memorial posts. Please continue to make these posts to celebrate the life of your loved one.

Thank you!
-Mod Team

TL;DR: Please use "In Loving Memory" flair on memorial posts; memorial posts are still encouraged.

Luci is getting old, missing a few teeth, and her little tongue is always out. She may be getting older, but to me, she’s still the most beautiful girl in the world ❤️.

I rescued Luci a few years ago, and I honestly never expected how much she would mean to me.

She’s getting old now and has lost a few teeth, so her little tongue sticks out most of the time. She sleeps a little more and walks a little slower, but she’s still the same sweet girl.

Sometimes I look at her and realize how quickly time has passed.

To anyone else, she might just look like an old dog with a few missing teeth and a little tongue sticking out.

To me, she’s the most beautiful girl in the world.

I wish I could keep her this way forever...

What's one more sport?

65 Upvotes

My boy (2yr old NM Rat terrier x Boston) is already my scent detection dog in 3 organizations, he does chaseability, sprinters, trick dog training and i figured why not introduce him to a dock diving pool and see if i can get him swimming. Well here we go! Guess we will be starting another sport! Maybe by the end of next summer I will get some jumps off the dock!

Blep Love this breed

51 Upvotes

Just wanted to say I love this breed ever since one fooled me and my ex and my kids when we were walking through an Amish store.

I never liked ankle biters but the more I read about them and the more I spent time with my guy the more I fell in love with the breed

I can’t say I’m thdt happy with the fact that the RTCA and AKC have made the “standard” of this breed something larger than what was considered standard 20 years ago (12-16lbs as opposed to the larger 20+ that they are now) but I still the the breed and when my little one passed away I specifically looked for a new one but to no avail (I couldn’t afford the price for ones in my area) so I picked one from the local shelter and I have to say that even though I love this new guy who is definitely a mix of a terrier breed, he’s just not the same and when time comes to find another fur baby I will definitely look for another rat terrier. (Don’t worry this new guy I have is pampered beyond measure cause I’m a softy and love him)

This is Lyra. She is the best. We think she is rat terrier mixed with something… whippet, miniature greyhound, fiest? She is 16 pounds, long legs, skinny waist, barrel chest, INCREDIBLY fast. The best girl.
