So very true.
We had 8 great years with him. The wife and I rescued him from a shelter as a pup on our 1st wedding anniversary. He was our first kid and the best dog I have ever had.
Had to say goodbye to my buddy today. Was the hardest thing I have had to do in my 33 years of life. This is the last picture I took of him when he was still well.
Man this sucks. Sorry for your loss
We have an older dog and I’m slowly coming to grips that I’m going to be facing this with her.
Growing up we weren’t allowed to have dogs and as soon as I could I owned one as an adult. I’ve had to do this twice before and it sucked each time. Took me a couple of weeks to get back to where I was emotionally and mentally.

They are our buddies, aren't they Boder? Just remember, you were his buddy and more. People love and care for these pets like you do have the capacity to love again. Give yourself the time you need in the meantime.

So sorry, Boder. It’s heartbreaking. As much as it hurts, he’s well now. And he remains with you in spirit. Every once in a while, I think I see my dog, Cutter John, out of the corner of my eye. I said goodbye to him 24 years ago. I firmly believe he’s always with me just as your buddy will be with you.

That’s a tough loss. Sorry to hear about that.

After two weeks of looking on North TX rescue sites for a companion dog for Jax, we found a real beauty. We named her Luka: the kids kept hearing Luka Doncic’s name from the Dallas Mavericks and they though it would fit so we went for it. She is half black lab and half husky, so the blue eyes and white fur make for a real unique combination. She is 5 months old and weighs 30 lbs and will grow to about 50 lbs. She is real sweet and gets along great with Jax. Luka can run and jump like her namesake and has energy to the 10th power. She almost cleared the couch while we were sitting on it!! Here’s to hoping for a good, long life with this new addition to the family!
PS: I really appreciate the thoughts after Stella left us. The THP forum is the best and its things like this that makes this group of people the greatest place to talk about golf, life and all things in between!

My wife and I had to make the very tough decision this morning to return Luka to her foster mom. She is a beautiful, intelligent dog, but our current dog, Jax, is terrified of Luka to the point where he would rather be upstairs than downstairs with her. Luka needs a rough and tumble playmate and Jax unfortunately does not fit the bill. The foster mom checked in with my wife every few days and received updates and knew this was a probability. We tried everything we could to get them to be buddies but they weren’t jelling. We are lucky that she can go back to a loving family for the time being. The foster mom completely understands our thoughts which makes it a bit easier. We feel bad but this is for the best of both dogs. Jax has been in our life for almost 4 years and to see him sink inside of a shell is painful to see. We’ve rescued/adopted six different dogs in our 21 years together so this is a first for us. Hopefully we can find a great match for Jax soon.

Yep the hallucinations are in full effect and it’s hard to even open a dam door without looking to see where he is.
So sorry to hear boder, he's chasing all the squirrels in doggie heaven now
He most definitely is. Squirrels were his arch nemesis.

This isn’t really a pet post and I’m not looking for a pat on the back. It’s more of a plea to stop letting your pets outside off a leash and expecting them to come back every time. I see that all the time around here.
I found this little guy on the side of the road. I thought he was dead because he didn’t move until I got right beside him. He had given up and was damn near starved to death. I threw them in my work van and gave him some water and took him to a no kill shelter. He’s got a long road ahead of him but he should be OK

OMG that is absolutely heartbreaking to see. I am so glad you found him and he has a future now. Things like this just kill me. I so badly want to strike it rich so I can save animals.

I passed him early on my way to a doctors appointment and I didn’t have time to stop and get him. I told myself if he was still there on the way back through I would pick him up. I didn’t think there would be a chance in hell he would be there but he was laying on the edge of the road in a really bad spot. I thought for sure someone had hit him but I didn’t see blood or anything and when I got about 3 feet from him he finally raised his head. He was like a limp noodle when I picked him up, he had completely given up

Thanks
They said it will be about 30 days before he’s ready to be adopted because of quarantine and some treatments they are going to give him. I’ll probably check in around the first of September and if he’s still there I have a feeling I’ll have a second beagle
Poor little guy ^ hope he gets to be yours!
We are looking to adopt another doggo, took Rocco to meet him yesterday and doing the home visit Friday afternoon
Walkie:
Only downside, he's not housebroken and has a pretty bad habit of jumping on people.. going to be a little tougher to train at 3 y/o

Pretty boy!!!!
I really hope you can rescue him, he will be a very faithful friend.
I know you aren't looking for a pat on the back. But, you are getting one from me anyways. Good on you to get him help.
Good for you brother. That infuriates me. So glad you rescued him. God bless you

I think we’ll have to be quick. Beagles with his temperament usually get adopted pretty fast. My wife and I have been toying with the idea of getting another so Ellie can have a companion. He reminded me of how she was when we got her. She was super skinny and “broken” as my wife says. It took a few months for her real personality to come out but when it did it was polar opposite of the dog we thought we adopted. And I wouldn’t have it any other way
