This was my boy Floyd named after the English rock band Pink Floyd. He was a mix, his dad was a pit bull, and clearly, he took after his mom who was a border collie. Born on mothers day in 1992 and he passed away in 2006. I love this photo because we were so young and had so many good times ahead of us. He was my last dog because it would be irresponsible for me to keep a dog in my financial situation. I made his grave marker and incorporated one of my father's Quartz geodes into it with the inscription "More than a Dog". They really do transcend pets and become our children. It's unfair that their lifespan is so much shorter than ours. I think about him almost every day 🥰
Please share your puppy photos and your stories, I would love to hear them.
Cat or other pet people are welcome too. Even if you don't know what your pet is, I am not pronoun-phobic lol

I rescued Coco five years ago when she was very young. Her mom is an Australian shepherd and we don’t know what type her dad is. She brings so much love and laughs to our family. She’s smart and knows many tricks. She is also a good watch dog.
Better than emptying the fridge while you're out, then distributing the "used" contents here and there. Oh -- he ate a corner out of the wall while he was at it. 🫣
Fun post! Thanks! All the pictures are so cute! I’ve got a pair of feral box turtles in my backyard. They’ve been hiding out because of the cold weather. I hope to get some more recent shots soon. I’m also hoping to see some junior box turtles, too, someday.
I don't know how to put photos on my computer, so I found one on Google that looks like my dog when he first came home as a puppy.
He was a herding dog with an unusual technique. This breed was originally bred to herd cattle, which they'd do by racing up at full speed and executing a body slam.
My boy thought he'd herd me occasionally when he was a pup. Thank goodness he cut it out before he was full-grown. At full size of eighty-five pounds, he would have knocked me down like a bowling pin.
Ya. At one point I wanted to use his fur for a sweater. (It's a lot like lamb's wool.) But I gave it up. Not before I'd collected bags and bags though.
Do you happen to remember what post we were on yesterday where someone posted a beautiful afghan they'd made? They told me how to make it and I forgot.
This is Molly. She is a lab and border collie. She rescued us when she was a year old just before Christmas in 2012. The first thing she did was chew up a cherished Christmas ornament. My husband got his "Oh No" look because he thought I would be furious. But to the suprise of both of us I raced over to her and made sure she didn't have the ornament stuck in her mouth. These days she's a bit slower but she tries to herd the cat. I'm a bit slower too but am grateful for her constant unconditional love and her companionship.
Awww Hi pixi. I love his tigger stripped tail. My Lino is fascinated with reflections, often I catch her watching me in the reflection of our sliding door, or the glass of our Tv stand when she's in her box waiting for the next meal
Smokey (L) is 14. Had him since he was 7 weeks old. He's my very first dog EVER and the love of my life. Haven is his sister from another litter, same parents. She passed 2 yrs ago Feb 5 @11 1/2 yrs old. Grace (R) is our rescue and will be 11 in June. As a newborn, Grace was thrown in a gas station dumpster in June in Vegas to die. Like her I was abandoned at birth and adopted, plus she's got a lot of anxiety just like me. We're the perfect mommy/daughter duo❤️ grace is my and hubbys running partner. This picture was less than 2 months before Haven died.
Aww, the rescue stories always get me. Floyd was from a litter, my ex was there at his birth. But when I was a teenager I rescued a dog from a pound. We named him Shamrock because we got him on St. Patrick's day. But his nickname was Franken Puppy because to us we thought he was mut created by a comity. Short stocky legs, and a body and coloring of a collie, we had no idea at the time but we had a Cardigan Corgi. It broke my heart when someone stole him right out of my yard 😥
My hubbys bday is st Patrick's day!!😂 Grace is a true survivor. She's 3/4 American Staffordshire Terrier and 1/4 EVERYTHING ELSE. We got her DNA test. Really 🆒😎 BTW if you ever want a novelty gift for a friend. That's so sad franken puppy was stolen. What horrible person does THAT 😭?!
Funny story...Smokey had a large cancerous tumor removed from the crown of his head at 3 yrs old. It grew from the size of a ✏️ eraser to a golf ball within 2 weeks!! When we got him back with a vertical 6INCH zipper scar from the tippy top of his head ALLLLL the way down to the base of his neck with a fully 🪒 shaved head, we called him franken puppy, too.
AWW, Let's build a world for Franken Puppies. I brought Floyd to the vet once all panicked when I found a lump on his back near his tail. The technician laugh at me and said it was a zit, popped it, and sent me home lol. My only wish all these years is that Shamrock ended up in a home that loved, pampered and cherished him for being a Corgi,,,,, Maybe it was MI5 and the Queen sent them to rescue him from the commoners hahahaha
Yes I love your memory yesterday was national or international bereavement day today national puppy day and the 21st was COVID memorial Day in UK. I loved my pets I really do , I miss them so much and their lives will influence me forever. I feel blessed to have met them. I feel they were destined to me. I feel they do help I just wish they were in a happy place ... And that they'd help the world somehow or be safe in heaven or be safe as they can be , asleep maybe, or maybe helping other animals get justice , get saved, get what to hry deserve which is better lives and that they resort those who are compassionate workers for peace and justice for all suffering innocent beings. Obviously animals are dumber than humans because they are never thinking about stuff deeply and accurately , but in their own packs they are so helpful to each other dogs and meet cats. And the earth was in one piece in balance before we humans took the reigns. All the predators like raptors and big cats and the Savannah animals loons and elephants the grazers and that they make huge effort to hunt properly to migrate for the seasons and they don't live easy lives they have to sense danger deal with loss they don't have much choice much. I can't see why people can't see that animals are capable of maintaining a more perfect balance than humans and that the planet suits them and they suit the planet. The fact is humans don't suit the planet don't manage and causes imbalance everywhere. And they abuse and hurt innocent animals and people. Humans never satisfied never content and always suffer from lack of mental balance of spiritual values and ethos. In the end say we going into very worrying times and in this situation I'm now very worried about the future of animals. I give loads to charity. I can't see what we can do when humans have chosen evil over good. And have become greddy and complacent. I suppose it's such a shameful thing to be human and the guilt is rolling in the UK. Climate change anxiety and anxiety about war , not to mention guilt and shock to see and to really to see the effect of western over consumption. It's awful. I think tragic . So many animals need to be remembered and do many people need to be punished for what they have done. I can only say that I wish I was not powerful anymore but that I woke up in a better world and yet I feel the long haul all around
Indeed, I totally agree with you! Nature has a way of balancing species that overpopulate. But all that changed when barley and wheat domesticate humans. You might think I have that backwards, but Wheat and Barley were a relatively local species to the Middle East. And an organisms sole purpose in life is to propagate and spread its species. And there was a relatively small population of human hunter gatherers at that time. When humans discovered that they could cultivate wheat and barley. Natural selection took over and wheat and barley started growing larger grains and making themselves more benificia to humans. As human populations expanded so did so did the seeds of these grains and cereals. When the tipping point of population was hit, there was nothing that nature could throw at humans or these cereal plants to stop them.
