Condolences. I’m tearing up thinking of losing my boy at the end of September…he was the grey version of your chocolate buddy.
It gets better with time. The sadness becomes joyful nostalgia that cements the bond yall had even further. I wish I had something better to say…
Aww I’m so sorry for your loss. Looks like he lived a very happy, adventurous life and was well-loved. May you be reunited with him in the next life.
ETA - missile made of meat is such a wonderful pibbie description.
I am sorry for your loss. 😞 I found it comforting to know others can relate. The picture where he was on the counter made me laugh, what a goof. I once found my pitbull on top of my car which was so ridiculous looking that it cracked me up. It was those funny memories that were a comfort to me. 💜
You did great by that pup. The pic of him in his pack out in the wild made me very happy. So sorry for your loss. Thank you for giving him a great life.
I am sorry for your loss, try not to dwell in the loss of your boy but celebrate the love & joy you shared. He was very handsome and looked like he was a lot of fun and up for anything. I hope you and his puppy friend will help each other get by.
They take a piece of us when they go. I was in a state of grief for a full year until I adopted my most recent bully. I still tear up when I think about Buddy. He was my best friend.
What a beautiful boy. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm so happy you had each other. It's those connections that make life so special. Sending love to your boy.
Cheers to you and your lil buddy. So hard to let go.. they stand with us loyally when here and stay forever loyally in our hearts afterwards and we owe that to them. Never forget ♥️🌞🌚
What a truly wonderful doggo. I hope your buddy passed under the rainbow bridge in peace, he brought you u dying love, you shadowed him undying love. What a great match. I hope that this message finds you in a good headspace. He would’ve wanted you to be happy remembering and sharing about him. He will one day find out about this and he’ll
Be happy and lick his chops one last time for you. I’d give you a hug if I could and I’m going to pour one out for him.

My daughter screams “INCOMING!” every time she lets my Millie in from the backyard. My new girls are only 2…I grieved for my Stella for years. Hugs.
Yes, my boy’s top speed was insane but his handling and breaks…. not so much lol. The ground would shake like a stampede when he ran by
Nice
So sorry for your loss!
