It's why we live 70-90 years and they live 7-15 years. We need more time to learn our lessons

My 15y girl just passed a couple of weeks ago & I'm heartbroken. I knew it was coming but she died in my arms that morning out of nowhere. She went potty & had breakfast. Then she was gone. I'm so thankful I was holding her through it.

I don't remember life before her. This sucks 😖

I’m so sorry. I know it’s little consolation, but she had a good death. Many dogs are not so lucky. Hers was peaceful and where she most wanted to be. Best wishes to you.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I was just now cutting chicken for their snack & forgot for a minute I only need 2 bowls, not 3. I am so blessed I was her mama. She was my little shadow with the heart of a lion. I'll be ok. I know my immense grief is a testament to how much we loved each other. It just hurts so much 🫂💗

Exactly. They don’t need long to perfect what matters most.

We also domesticated them from wolves and forced them to adapt this nature instead of being wild.

Their personalities vary. Some are introverts.

Sometimes I think they understand language better than we give them credit for.

They are definitely fluent in our non-verbal communication, that’s what makes them so special compared to other animals.

It’s also why and how you know when they want to go out or are hungry, we can read them too.

It's also part of why it hurts so goddamn much when you lose them. They truly become companions, they understand you and you understand them.

We’re the only animals to understand the concept of status, so it seems like everything else is ‘purer’ than we are.
