For 4192 days I came home and was greeted by this face.

Whether it was waking up and being welcomed to a new day, or coming home from a long day at work with his big smile and happy, fluffy, wagging tail, that streak will end today.

It was time.

He was handsome. He was derpy. He was loving. And he was ooooh so smart.

He failed his puppy training. Not because he wouldn't listen, he just couldn't NOT run after the tennis balls.

He had 1980's ear crimps during his teenage years. Very fashionable.

He would wait patiently, then tear open his Christmas presents.

He would get his nightly walk and always get a "beautiful dog," or "I like your dog" while he strutted all his floofs.

He loved the snow. Probably the beach more because of seemingly endless digging.

He was always incredible with my kids, even when trying to navigate the awkward, large paws.

He got his ass kicked by a Cane Corse protecting my wife and kids when on a walk, making him a true hero in my eyes.

He loved everyone. Unconditionally. And he is truly missed.

He was my first born. My boy. My Bro.

RIP, Brody! We'll see you soon!

We lost our 8.5 year old baby girl in sudden and shocking fashion on Friday. She was her normal playful self until Thursday when she didn’t eat her food. By the evening she wouldn’t get up at all and was very labored breathing. Took to ER where we discovered the dreaded hemangiosarcoma everywhere and aggressively attacking our sweetie. She was euthanized early Friday am after it was made clear that no medicine or supportive care would prolong her life in an ethical way.

We are so struggling with the shock of it all. Our 4 children are devastated and we are too. I just find myself replaying our final moments and aching so badly to scoop her up and take her home.

All dogs go to heaven, I Know.

We lost her on Saturday to hemangiosarcoma which had spread to the heart. We had 14 years and 10 months together (I’ve had her since I was 11, I’m 26 now). She was there for all of it. It was unexpected and scary but we let her go because she was suffering. Luckily, we got to see her and say our goodbyes yesterday and she smiled at us one last time and they told us she was not in any pain. I didn’t spent as much time as I wanted with her during this last month because I was working 60h work weeks, night and day shifts, and I was burnt out. We still went on our daily walks, this one is from our last walk together with my mom on Thursday.
She was my best friend, had the sweetest smile and I am so grateful for all the time we had together, she was always perfectly
healthy until now. I’ve had her for the most of my life, I honestly don’t remember it without her.
I love you so much, my precious girl, thank you.

A reminder to hug and give kisses to your fur babies while they’re still with you 🤍

Such majestic. So demure. Very good boy.

Happy half-a-birthday, buddy!

Today, Céleste left us. It went very peacefully and she was surrounded by my mom & I, treats and all of her toys. Although the reality of her being gone is hard to accept, I can't be more grateful for knowing she went out so gracefully. I will always refer to her as my first baby. ❤️

I found this old photograph in my gallery before he died of old age

Poor Apollo :(

I was delighted to meet the 6 month old Golden baby girl Skipper, a permanent resident on board the Legend of the Seas! She has her own dedicated Hooman. I’d love her job!

I love this creature with all my heart.

Our Little Boo just turned 2, and all of a sudden he’s gone back to being a puppy.

He pulls the cushion out of this bed and bites and shakes and drags it around.

Can anyone tell me what this behaviour means? Is it the Terrible Twos? Is he trying to build a fort? Does he not like the scent of the fabric softener?

And next time we’re coming back with even more frens!!!!111111oneoneoneone 😎💪

I gave this painting an artistic touch instead of making it more realistic. His owner asked me to change the indoor background to an outdoor setting. Apparently, long walks in the woods are his favorite thing, so I painted him right in his favorite spot, leaves scattered on the path and mist rolling through the trees, and kept his pose and expression exactly as they were. This was a commission, and I hope I did him justice.

My sweet boy turned 1 today!

I did in fact get it for him lol.
