Happy National Pet Day!
17April 11th, every year.
My awesome pup left us unexpectedly on the previous new years eve. We miss him dearly, and I dedicate my post today to his memory. I’ll put up a picture later.
Please post a picture or a story of your fur babies - it’s National Pet Day!

This is a good day! Perfect excuse to go buy way too many toys at Petsmart for my fur babies! Insert gratuitous cute doggy photo here:
@shahnm Also, I am sorry for the loss of your furry family member!
@bramby2 Is that a puggle on the left?
@tohar1 He’s a rescue, so we aren’t entirely sure what he is.
His breed is: BROWN.
His name, of course, is Brownie…
He came with it. He knew his name. It fit. We kept it. The neighborhood kids love it/him.
We bought one of those doggy DNA things one time, but then decided it was more fun to just guess!
@bramby2 There’s nothing wrong with that at all! All dogs are good dogs! The local shelter is where Shasta came from. I do know our Puggle is about the most affectionate pooch, especially around children, that I’ve ever witnessed. Every kid within a 3 block radius knows Shasta!!
Seems perfectly fitting to be National Pet Day. It was 4 years ago this evening that I took my furry best friend for one final trip to the vet. He didn’t technically pass until we finally let him go around 2 am on the 12th, but the 11th is the day that will always stick with me as the last day I got to spend with him. Made it to 20 years and 2 months and I miss him every single day. As thankful for the time we had together, this is always a tough day.
@cinoclav Sorry for your loss, brother. He must of loved you too to stick around for twenty years!
@mfladd Thank you for the smile, I needed that.
@cinoclav sounds like both you and him had a wonderful 2 decades together!
@moonhat Truly. I hope everyone has the chance to experience that kind of unconditional love at least once in their lifetime.

You are our pet

“Hello from Fargo!” says Shasta the Puggle.

My buddy, about a week before he left us. He’s playing with a couple of his Christmas gifts… sniff…
@shahnm Sorry for the loss of your friend. It’s never easy.
Zephyr and Tempest. March 25th and 26th respectively was their 1st adoptiversary. Zephyr, a 4yo Irish Wolfhound-Borzoi Hound, was found starving in the desert, only days from death. The first night he spent in my house was probably the first night he spent in any house. He is calm, gentle, loving. He’s passed the test to be my new partner for pet therapy visits to local hospitals and wounded warriors. Tempest, a 2yo Great Dane, had homes, way too many of them. She was 14mos old when I got her, I was her sixth home, she seems to have been abused along the way, and is terribly insecure. In many ways she’s Zephyr’s polar opposite. She’s a bundle of endless energy, full of play, but scared to death of everything. They love one another.
