There was not an empty seat next to me on the couch so Roscoe made a seat on the arm.

Our 10 year old German Shepard has inoperable cancer that is spreading fast and also lost her playmate to cancer a few years ago. So to add some love to her remaining life and ours we added two new additions to the household. Gladys a 50/50 American/Euro basset. Phyllis is an unknown lab, german shepard, golden retriever mix.

I have had dogs most of my lifetime but have never owned a basset, and to say they are unique is an understatement. Everything is done on THEIR time, they have bursts of clumsy energy but go straight back to napping like a rock. Impossible to be angry at with the constant sad face.

She’s a 4 year-old rescue that rang in the new year with us!

Fred will scratch at he door to go out and as soon as I get up to let him out he steals the seat I was in

This was our baby Hank, also known as Hankerton or Hank the Tank. My husband and I adopted him when he was about 10 weeks old, and quickly become my sons best buddy. We got to love him for little over a month. He was the goofiest but sweetest little guy. It’s been about a month now since he’s passed in an accidental drowning in a pool. We decided on cremating him and he’s back home with us but I still can’t seem to accept it or start to move past it. He’s the first dog I’ve had since putting my childhood dog down back in 2020, which was also very hard to accept after having him for almost 16 years. What is some advice or kind things to help get through this.
