I never understood the connection people have with their dogs till I got mine. They’re practically children in your family!

[@user-bv1tp6qd1r]

Same with me. I never had a dog until I was in my fifties. When my mom died a friend of mine brought a stray pit bull to me that had walke into a pub where he was playing music. Someone had likely dumped him. He brought him to me because I had just bought a house in the country and was sort of down and by myself. That dog made a huge poitive impact on me. That was over six years ago and I still have him, plus another pittie I rescued from the shelter. He looks back at me whenever we are outside to see if Im'm there. My girl sleeps with me and stares into my eyes for long periods and sits on my lap. I am now a total dog person. They are my children, and I would do anything for them. I'm also sure that if I was threatened by anyone, that person would have a very, very bad day. That said, my friends all love them because they are so sweet and friendly. Dogs are made for us and we for them.

[@I_SuperHiro_I]

@@diapricea4888 I’m so sorry. My Hiro was that dog for me too, though he only had 1 eye due to glaucoma at an early age. Saved his right eye through continuous treatment. For the next 10 years he operated like nothing had happened; it didn’t slow him down one bit. I spent tens of thousands of dollars on that dog, and I’ve have spent it all if it could have helped in the end. It’s going to hurt for a very long time, but it’s better to hurt having known their love, than to let it fade from memory.

@@I_SuperHiro_I thank you for saying that, better to have known my little Pepa than never to have known true love. I'm crying now, she was the greatest joy in my life, and it's been a tough one. I am looking forward to seeing her again. I enjoyed hearing your loving words about Hiro. My son, 46, died suddenly unexpectedly 7/7/23. He had moved into his grandparents house an hour south, was starting a new life there. Around 4 months before he died i told him he needed a dog, now we have his 85lb Mastiff, Buddi, he is gentle as a kitten. My Pepa was with me grieving with me when my son died. She weighed about 15 lbs. She welcomed Buddi, it was a joy the watch them play. Buddi was left again to grieve. I understand about the $$$, I'd give every $ in my bank account to have her back. The vet charged over $2,000 to tell us she was dead, when we walked in with her. I can't be in the same room with him (ex husband) now. She was my everything. A rat terrior, my protector.

My daughter moved back home recently and brought her dog with her. We already have 2, one is a Chihuahia who is very attached to me. My daughters dog has shifted and prefers to spend time with me and my dog. It really hurts my daughters feelings, I feel bad, but my husband and I are very calm and use far more positive reinforcement and praise than scolding and I think between that and wanting to be part of the family pack rather than in the basement with just my daughter makes a huge difference.

I just put my dog down last Friday. He had come down with acute liver failure. I noticed jaundice in his eyes and gums the Thursday before hand. Took him to the vet that Friday, they ran labs, and his liver enzymes were through the roof. I made the decision to let him rest and by 12:00 that afternoon he was gone. What I thought would be an easy fix turned into losing the best friend I had ever had. He was 13 and had a dang good life and I will miss and love him everyday. He would sleep in my laundry, lay on my chest, give his version of kisses which was sniff sniff sniff, hard exhale, and he would hold guard outside the bathroom as I showered. He was my boy for 11 years of the 13 in his life and I’m thankful for him.

When my dogs have a hurt paw or leg, they know I feel around their injured body to see what is going on. One time I was feeling around my dog's paw cause she was really favoring it. When I evidently touched the injured spot, my dog started to yelp really loud and took her mouth and clamped her teeth, very lightly on my arm as she was yelping. Her mouth lightly vibrated on my skin as I instantly pulled back. Being in pain, she could have bit down onto my arm to relieve her pain, but did not. I had to pet her alot just to reassure her. I was touched by my dogs actions and of course there is that saying 'dont bite the hand that feeds you'.

If your life and style permits, I'd encourage you to be owned by a dog. At least establish a relationship with someone else's dog. We made wolves dogs, they made us human.

[@michaelhowell2609]

Be sure to have her checked out for hip dysplasia. Our local vet never mentioned anything about it. She was writhing in pain so we took her to an out of town vet, now are due to have both hip replaced at ~$7000 a piece. So many preventative things we could have done to help with the dysplasia and arthritis that are so common in GSD’s. Hope this message finds you and your “baby” well.

[@tinawilliams6576]

Mine too 💯 ❤

[@tombrzozowski173]

@michaelhowell2609 my girls hips were guaranteed by the breeder and tested every 2 weeks at birth, and still every year at least by vet. they can test for that early believe or not, this is my 2nd service k9 gsd so I well know about the hips, plus everytime we go to vet they check them, they can't be service dogs with bad hips, I don't necessarily believe the guarantee thing? I mean yeah for $ wise but she's worth more than that! But it's not in her family tree either by the AKA, so? But thats strange that you woukd soend that much $ on a Gsd and not know about dysplasia? That's horrible nobody informed you!!! Thats the most common thing? And yes never let them sleep on a hard surface for along time! That helps alot!! Yeah but thanks so much for concern!! 👍

7 dobies, 1 whippet, 1 golden ret, 2 heinz 57. Best thing for me from age 5years to 40 years. Each a life lesson for me on personality and loyalty. Along with my sisters 6 dogs when the time came to put them down due to age issue I took them to the vet and held them to their last moment., Except one that passed away after dinner and falling asleep next to me the pain is immense whether natural or a vet visit. Not a dog since,when I look at a pup I see their last moments 10 to 17 years later.

You've had an incredible journey with your furry family members. 🐾 It's clear how much love and care you gave them, and they taught you so much about loyalty and personality.

[@justincase2281]

Here's something worth noting. When I was a young teenager we adapted a dog. We were inseparable. I loved the dog and he loved me. We sort of lived for each other. He was loving with everyone in my family, but I was his human. As time passed and I grew up, I spent less time at home. A job, dating and hanging out with friends kept me away from home. I spent less time with the dog. We grew apart. The dog wasn't as close to me. I could see he grew depressed. I always loved the dog but as I got into my twenties I had to spend more time with school and work. Out relationship was never like it was when we were younger. Sadly, I came home from work one day and he had died during the day while I was out. He had a heart attack. My heart was broken. He was such a good boy. I still think about him, almost daily and I'm nearing 70. I think the worst time to adopt a dog and have a dog imprint on one person is in the teen years. Once you grow up there's less time for your friend because life hets more complex. And I 've heard this said - "No matter how much you love your dog, they love you more!" I really loved my dog. But I was growing up and that changed everything. Keep that in mind if you plan on adopting a dog. Timing is everything!! I hope I see my old friend in Heaven and he forgives me. I know he has to be there.🙏✝️❤️❤️

[@Smelly-Belly]

Thank you for sharing your heartfelt story. Your love for your dog shines through every word. Life changes quickly, especially during those transitional years, and it’s tough when those changes pull us away from our beloved pets. He’ll always be in your heart, and if there's a place where the best friends we lost wait for us, I'm sure he's there, wagging his tail and ready to welcome you with open paws. 🐾❤️

Dogs are suspected of having mirror neurons. This would mean that not only can they mimic emotions, but that they are showing actual empathy.

If im not home but call home she will bug the person im talking to until they acknowledge that yes mama is on the phone and will be home soon. I could not ask for a better furbaby to take care of into her golden years. She will be 9 this december and I know I may only have 5 maybe 6 more years with her and it hurts to know that time is so short but blessed to know she will be with us as her forever home.

My (mostly rescued) pack checks in with me when they're playing in the pen. I keep our front door open in nice weather because it opens into a big dog pen, so they rush out to play and come back, rattle the baby gate so I come to open it. The three youngest ones come in long enough to be petted and take off again. The one in my thumbnail pic is the one who will come in to stay on the couch where she can see me and look out the gate at the pups. My formerly semi-feral dog stays where she can see me at all times if I'm in the house. She won't even go out in the pen without me, so I have to take her on a leash around our 5 acres several times a day. My Jack checks in, sticking his muzzle up by my nose and mouth. If he senses I am stressed, he leans against me as hard as he can. Got him as a 3 month old pup after 2 littermates passed on a day apart. I couldn't stand the thought of buzzards eating his corpse because he was kept outside, so I took him home to pass on, knowing love and a home for a night. Expected to find him passed in the bed next to me in the morning, but no... His second birthday is coming up next month.

My dog has the Jekyll and Hyde syndrome (yes it actually does exist lol). She definitely has two personalities. One where she is very sweet to everyone, cuddly and nice like a normal dog. The other where she suddenly turns mean, guards her food or our shoes w/e item and doesnt want anything to do with you. You cant recognize her like she turns into a different dog. We noticed this shortly after we rescued her as a ~4 month old puppy. Went to the vet and they are unsure about how she got it but we do know its caused by anxiety. The last thing we could try is a dog behavior expert but theyre expensive and even then this behavior of the Hyde personality could still exist or not be removed at all. Even though i still love her 😊
