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♥️

My 17 year old cat passed away a couple of months ago. I got her when she was 2 and we bonded immediately. I have a photo of her laying on my lap the first night I got her, belly up and looking very content. That night she ended up twanging the door stop.

She was such a great cat with an adventurous spirit, but also super cuddly. I have a lot of photos of her in my lap. She was also super food motivated. I have a series of photos of her slowly sneaking towards my other cat's food, hoping that I wouldn't notice.

What a special bond it is to have a companion for so many years.
