I’m a dog man, myself.
This is Sexy Beast and his son Mambo:

Had to say goodbye to my best friend January 13, 2024. She fought cancer for about a year before it took too much fight for her to keep going. It’s been rough without her but me and the gf are finally starting to get used to our life without our girl Chunkie. Hope she’s chasing demon squirrels around her big ole farm land.

@Choko nothing better than seeing their beautiful eyes fighting to stay open as the sun lulls them into a solar nap.

@iammortalcombat heart wrenching!! Why is it that man’s best friend only lives 1/10 the lifespan of man himself?? What a cruel duality

@iammortalcombat so sorry for your loss

[iammortalcombat]

Thanks yall. Yea she went out at a prime age of 10 years and her birthday would have been last week. She was the absolute best unit of a bulldog I could have had.

I've been dropping in to my parents to check on the puppy (and Bella of course) on Monday afternoons.

Bella is 9 this year and seems very miffed at the new resident

@iammortalcombat sorry to hear man

I dislike being a bearer of more bad news, but my wife and I are putting my parent's golden retriever, Mazy, down today. After my dad a stroke in December 2022, we adopted her. She lived her best life here in WV, visiting the Potomac River, playing with tons of toys, and eating plenty of treats (and healthy human food). We had her for 15 months, and tonight the vet said bring her in to say goodbye.

Mazy was in my family since I was early on in my undergrad degree in Shepherdstown, WV. She was kind of a jerk as a puppy lol, she would steal toys from the older dog Annie and hoard them. Sometimes two or even three toys in her mouth at a time. She was cunning, sharp and faster than the dogs she lived with.

We were lucky enough to spend time with her as a senior dog, and we loved sharing our time with her. My wife especially fell in love with Mazy and is having a super difficult time with the news today. We will be bringing her to the river one more time after work and feeding her the rest of the strawberry ice cream from the freezer.

We will still have our two year old puppy, Rosie with us but we will be down from three dogs to just one.

I am doing okay but as I said, Amanda is really upset. I guess it is because I have been through a lot in my day and she has lived a mostly pretty non-traumatic life. This is almost one year after our puppy Indigo had to be put down with last June. We have not had a great track record and it totally fucking sucks.

Please raise a glass for Mazy tonight if you find yourself thirsty, and put an ounce out for her to share. Rosie and Mazy last week in our driveway.

Mazy with her dolphin. She loves her dolphin and her gator and monkey toys.

@Oaktavia I'm so sorry dear friend, a hug to you and Amanda. A toast to Mazy, wherever you go, the love she gave will accompany you forever.🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎

Oh man @Oaktavia so sorry to hear, she must have been a wonderful dog

[thewizarrd]

Hamish, one of three daft cats.

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia will raise a glass to Mazy, very sorry to hear that.

[ARNC]

@Oaktavia sorry to hear this. Mazy reminds me a lot of my dad’s last dog (also gone now, although he outlived dad and my uncle who adopted him for what turned out to be both of their final years).

[ROman]

@Oaktavia Sorry to hear this. Glass raised.
