It's a neat way to remember them.

That’s a very nice thing to do. I have him getting cremated and put into a box with his name and stuff, planting him into a tree might be something I do with the ash maybe.

Humans don’t deserve dogs.

Long time she’s running there. Is a blessing. Is she still active and stuff? Because snowman never changed I found myself having to save him from himself because he always wanted to
Be his hype rowdy self.

How old is your pup?

Mine is around 10-ish. We dont know as he is a rescue, but he is a big boy and usually the big ones don't have the longevity.

Going to have to try again senior. Nothing showed up

Foreal? He’s showing on the first post I made. Is he still not showing?

Oh wow that’s sweet. We have a rescued pup as well that my wife picked out a few years ago. She seemed to be nomore than 2 years old. They had found her as a stray just wondering around. She sat in the pound for about 2 months before my wife went and picked her out. She’s a lab/beagle they say. This dog has soooooooo much energy it’s crazy. It’s an absolute must that she goes outside in the field and unleashes her blazing energetic speed.

Rescue is the way to go. Not sure I'll get another dog after my big guy goes, but if so I will ONLY be rescuing dogs that need a house. Good on you and your wifey for taking one of the saddest dogs there (2 months). Thats what we did. Took the dog we figured no one wanted that would never get rescued and would eventually get put down. Sweetest dog Ive ever had.

You guys are awesome for that. I wish people didn’t get pets knowing they aren’t true animal people. There wouldn’t be as many in the pounds if people were truly responsible animal people. I just recently got into an heated argument with a friend of mines for getting a pup knowing he didn’t have any say on whether the person he’s living with would accept dog’s. So he ended up having to get rid of the dog and I just hate that kind of shit man. You get a pup or something you should have somewhere stable for the pup to live as a child and give it the best life possible. Not have the pup going from home to home before it ends up in a pound.

Idk man I just love animal’s and really don’t like them being put in bad situations where it’s better to be euthanized than live whatever fkd up life it had to live before being subjected to the pound in a cage.

I hear ya man. I think everything has the right to life and to a good one. I really hate any kind of kill shelter. Let the dog roam free if its that bad. I know the narrative of "we cant have all of these wild dogs all over the place", but I think its crap. I think it could be solved if it really wanted to be solved. However, I also think any problem the world/man faces can be solved if we really wanted to.

She hasn’t lost a beat. Girls a nut. Wakes me up every morning 15 mins before my alarm and as soon as I open my eyes she goes bananas with the zoomies. It used to annoy me, getting woken up early every morning, but I know I’m going to miss it like crazy when she’s gone

Yup yup trust and believe you will miss everything even the annoying ones like you mentioned lol. Damn I miss my dog.

Sorry for your loss. It definitely stings when it’s their time. I cremated my black lab and golden retriever. I’ve never had a dog live past 11 yrs old. My little pittie, Tiny, is 9 yrs old. I enjoy every moment with him because he’s always at my feet. He loves going for rides in the truck.

Prayers and thoughts for you and your family over your dog. A dog is a best man's friend and a family member!
