I am feeling particularly sad today as yesterday I had to put down my nineteen year old pup. What is your favorite memory with your dogs? (lemmy.ml)

Edit: Thank you all for your condolences and the beautiful snippets from your own furry friends. It is so special to be loved by an animal and love them back.

After nineteen years together, we had many beautiful memories and adventures together, but one of my favorite was when we visited the beach. She absolutely loved it and would run up and down chasing seagulls and barking at coming waves as happy as can be.

I will miss you forever, Tandi♥️

I am so very sorry for your loss.

My favorite memory is from my childhood. We had just moved and this one particular day, I rode my bike instead of walking. I took piano lessons during the day at a building next door to the school. I went to go to my lesson around 10AM, and there Lyza was, laying down next to my bike like she was guarding it. As soon as she saw me, she bolted over to me and lots of slobbery kisses ensued. We lived about 10 city blocks from the school and I couldn't believe she'd found the bike and me. She wasn't more than 2 years old. I was so touched; she was our first dog and it was my first taste of that unconditional love. We really don't deserve them.
