    That is a beautiful dog @Santosha12 so fluffy๐Ÿ˜ I bet he was lovely to have a cuddle with!

    I understand how that experience would make you feel a bit wary!! It sounds very frightening! I was always just scared of their barks especially if they come from big dogs๐Ÿ˜„

    This is Millie, she passed away in 2021, as she was very poorly. Millie was a rescue who had been abused and she was very scared and timid. She was a very lovely and beautiful girl. She took to my cat as a kitten when she was older and would let next-door cats who were related to my cat come in. Really miss her.

    My heart goes out to you. What a beautiful little soul. You saved her and gave her so much love and safety. It's no wonder it's so painful when we lose them. I still miss my 3 after 8 and 9 years, just not as raw now. Just thinking of you ๐Ÿซ‚ โค๏ธ ๐Ÿ’œ.

    Oh what a handsome little fella! โค๏ธ ๐Ÿ’œ, I'm sorry, not that long ago really ๐Ÿซ‚. I love the heart shape at the top of his face. My Mr.Jones took and chewed the arm of my decent sunglasses, found them hidden in his basket. I still wear them now with all his little teeth marks on the arm ๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿ˜Š.

    Oh he was, very chilled most of the time but he could be as daft as a brush. Not a bad bone in his body. I'm sure he was over 50kgs vs my yorkie at the time at only 3kgs, so had to be in his cage at certain times which nearly filled my living room. I always wondered what happened to him after my boss sent him back to the breeder ๐Ÿ˜ช ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. Newfies cost a lot of money (and time) with grooming especially. I always hoped and prayed he got the very best home and love that he deserved.

    Honestly like a bond ive never had before she knew me she was so intuned to me I taught her to say hello !! Yes I did she stopped saying it as she got older my daughter said its because I tormented her saying say hello what do clever girls say and she would as clear as say say hello I taught her tricks I forgot about those times as it became less she's a chihuahua and I used to buy massive teddy bears stuffed toys triple her size she would fling them all over the place and then hump them oh god she was a dream just perfect for me never be another fifi never I used to hide her in my bag and take her everywhere in the days I went out I even took her in the council the security guard was screaming at me get out get out I was like how very dare you this is my child they all knew her in shops in my town oh god the memories coming flooding its like a dream

    What a very special bond and very precious memories @Catherine21. I love reading your stories of yo

    ur little Fifi. Jack was my soul dog, 15 amazing years with him too โค๏ธ. I'd say Snicket's my soul dog now too ๐Ÿ˜Š

    When he was in his last year I used to feed him rump steak. Then couldn't get any so he had fillet. When I went back to the rump again he spat it out ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚ so was on fillet steak for his last months. I'd take him to the butchers in his 4 wheel drive trolley to choose a sausage and a rasher of bacon which he'd keep by his side on the way home.

    Toby was my reason to keep going during some very dark days. He was 15 years old when he died in April 2025. I still miss him.
