Mike - I saw this and immediately thought of you. (I'm changing the code color so it doesn't look messy. Not sure how to make it work right) More info here. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">This is August. She was born on April 24, 2000. That’s right, she just turned...

Hooray for Layla finding her way into your home! Our dog, Stanley, is a rescue found wandering the streets but we're quite sure he's from a home that had a cat. He has some cat-like habits such as sleeping on the back of the couch, and sitting with his front paws tucked under him. He also seems...

I come back online after a couple weeks and the first thing I read is a group of heartbreaking stories. I mourn with you all.

The little guy in my previous post is Stanley. He is posing with his most favorite toy of all time - his treat ball. Avatar dog is the late Monty. The sweetest most gentle dog I've ever had the pleasure to know.

Five years today since we brought this little guy home

I'm sorry to read about your cat, Stan. This thread is starting to get depressing. :(

Heartbreaking. I'm sorry for your loss.

Oh my dog! I'm so sorry to read about Ike's passing. He looked a fine companion. A toast to Ike! I do hope Kelly is doing ok, and she's not lost without him.

Sorry to hear as well. You've taken this much farther than most people would have. You certainly did your best. Are there any pit rescues near you?

I was just thinking... that poor dog probably has no idea his owner is passed on* and is maybe just waiting until they can be reunited again, which will never happen. So for him to transition to a new home with a same-breed dog to play with, and a horse, that's really something special. *...or...

That's awesome, Stan! And I, too, want to see a picture!

That's really sad that no one wants the dog, or is making any attempt to unburden you. On the other hand, the owner should have made arrangements. I would suggest checking for pit rescues in the area. They would gladly take him and find him a new home.

Have you reached out to them? They may not know where the dog is, or simply not thinking about it. I would think a simple "he can stay with me for another couple weeks, but please let me know what your plans are as soon as you know."

Congrats Adam! Welcome back Mike!

I'm so sorry to read of your loss, Adam. I've said it before and I'll say it every time - losing our 13yr old maltese devastated me in a way I never saw coming. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

There's probably some digital editing involved but it's pretty awesome. I don't want to turn this into a video thread but it inspires me to post one of my favorite dog videos. Done in one take. Here's the Outtake/alt angle view. Cutting straight to the video: http://youtu.be/CXJflIGDE-o?t=6m29s

Awesome! He looks like a winner!

That's awesome, Mike. I don't think it's over the top at all. When I was trying to find a way to focus my grief after losing Monty (my current avatar) I picked up a multi photo frame and selected a number of photos, including a scan of a paw print we took on his last day with us. It hangs on the...

The other day I found my dog sitting on the deck eating a rabbit's leg. ew. I found the rest of the rabbit elsewhere in the yard. I have no idea if he killed it or not. My wife saw a hawk hanging around a few hours earlier, but my dog had been outside a number of times since so I can't imagine...

I'm sorry for your loss, Mike. You were probably the best thing that ever happened to that dog. He lived his final months in a happy home surrounded by love and tennis balls.

It's a rare thing, tho. I would think the bond between the owner and the pet must be very strong.
