(Here’s the same story I repeat in every dog thread. Ha.)
Three years ago, I found this dog wandering around my front lawn. Took me two weeks to track down the owner. I returned her, and then two hours later get a call basically saying, “Um, yeah, if you want to come back and get her, you can keep her.”
This was Jackie in the foot of snow we got last winter.
She’s a 70-pound pit mix (previous owners said pit-rottweiler, but the vets and us are almost positive she’s something like pit-labrador).

Looks like they’re waiting to get in on a poker game… Great pic
Princess I got her free on Craigslist from some ass who had her tied up on a noose. She looked me in the eyes and said “please get me out of here”, I don’t understand why anyone would purchase an animal and then abuse them

Probably the same reason someone would raise a dog for eight years and then give it away first chance they get (in my/Jackie’s case).
Because they’re fucking mental. Good on you for doing the right thing.
LOL~
Ella, destroyer of babies.
She’s spending a month at the lake right now. Apparently she’s finally gotten bold enough to run off the dock, instead of inching into the water until she has to swim.
Edevus needs to post that gif of the dog covering itself with a blanket. That was aweome.
Fraggle your Dobey looks super refined, noble.
Thanks Brad. The breeder was reluctant to give him to us as she thought he could be a top show dog. Luckily she decided his brother was more likely to turn out.

JAKARTA (Reuters) - Seven dogs starved of food and water for two weeks are suspected of eating their Indonesian owner after he returned to his hometown in Manado from a holiday, local media reported on Tuesday.

That’s why I lift and eat so much, so that if my 7 dogs (eerie that me and this guy in the news story have 7 dogs) find my corpse they have enough to last them a while.
Nice to see everyones’ dogs = )

I remember. 
Have a blue heeler x border collie. 11 years old now, awesome dog. Does some of the funniest shit.
Do me a favor and give your pups an extra hug today, guys.
We lost Jackie last night.
She went from active like this video to basically paralyzed below the waist in about two months. Vet says it was advanced arthritis and nerve damage that hit all of a sudden.
She was quite happy playing catch with her sqeakybell all by herself.
Working from home is not helping at all today. It’s very, very quiet around here. We’ve got two cats, but even they’re kinda depressed.
Sooo sorry to hear that Chris. While know that there’s nothing anyone can say that truly lessens the pain, I’ve been there, and all I can say it to focus on what a great life you were able to provide for a loving member of your family. Know that as much as you loved her, and she loved you,… she KNEW that she was loved, and that’s a great feeling.

Sorry about your loss, Chris.
I have 2 Minpins. We call them our little girls (they’re 8.5 lbs each). They’re now 14 years old, yet still remind us of puppies in many ways.
I love them both, so it will probably sound callous what I’m about to say.
There are days where I wish they were gone. Dead. I don’t like seeing the aging process. One is totally deaf, and the other is blind in one eye and the other eye is problematic. Both have rotten teeth, one girl has several missing. For the past 2 days, the one girl has been peeing on a brand new shag rug (I believe she thinks it’s grass).
I know the aging process will progress until they’re much worse, and probably in some pain. THIS I do not look forward to. One of the things I love about dogs is their zest for life, and virtual search for fun and happy experiences. They’re always good to go!
I loathe the day those traits disappear, because I know that loss will soon follow.
