Beautiful pics guys

im gonna wait a few more months before I jump into another dog

miss my Matty, he was special 

you’ll do what’s right for you….but I’ve always been an advocate of getting another dog….a puppy will distract you and also make your appreciate your old, “trained” dog even more.

Piper was looking kind of cute while I was downstairs, watching TV last night.

Rest in Peace Zeus

I am sorry for your loss. Zeus was beautiful. Was he a Rottweiler? I loved your progression of photos. It looks like he was a well loved member of your family. How is your other dog doing?

Fifthelement

Thank you.  Yes, he was a Rottie.  He started out as my parents dog, but when they downsized he came to live with us on the coast in 2018. Max is doing well so far.  She’s been a bit sucky, but that’s not unusual for her.

Oh damn.
So sorry to hear about Zeus. Such a handsome guy. Love that Santa hat pic.
RIP Zeus.

Oh man sorry to hear my condolences on your loss!

Sorry to hear about Zeus, beautiful dog. Looks like he had a great life, great pics. Condolences 

my friend had to say good bye to his dog Topo today… was like my 2nd dog… I’d watch him when they went on vacations…. He will be missed 

Fifthelement

Thanks everyone.  It’s been an emotional day.  

@CROJAM95

Sorry for your loss as well.

Wobbie

Damn, damn, damn.

Zeus was awesome. So aptly named. He made me remember Surfer - the guy who started this here thread.

Piper’s mama passed away this week, too. Her name was Ivy and she produced many naughty puppies.

RIP Zeus.

RIP Ivy, you were a very good girl.

It’s been a week now, so many emotions.  Max has been very clingy, more so than usual 😂

Zeus - what a cutie.  I love seeing pictures of his life.  It looks like he had a great one.  Much love to you and your family.

Man what beautiful dogs do sorry for your loss! I’m not sure I can take loosing my Twinkie she’s 14 I’m not even sure I’d want another Dog for a while, having two surely helps in the comfort of a loss we lost Sparkle’s back in 15 but we had Twinkie and she really helped us emotionally.

Here's Piper's mom who just passed away with some of Piper's litter.

Are those French Bulldogs? I always get ‘em confused with Boston Terriers. Frenchies are now the #1 most popular breed in the US, ending the Labs’ run of 31 years. $5k?

A wagonload of Frenchys
They are always expensive due to how hard it is for them to give birth.

Mother animals are so beautiful, the good part of nature not all the aggression that you see on the news

sorry to hear Rob… she gave you the ultimate gift!

And yeah some French bull dogs no bs going for $10k-$20k or more, crazy… they are cute as hell 

Fifthelement

Thanks Rob, I know it does, he will always be in my heart along with all of my other fur-iends.  Ivy was beautiful.  Such a happy looking dog.

Thanks as well to @Enkidu and @josevolution

Your kind words and thoughts are much appreciated. I get what you’re saying Jose, having Max has been very helpful emotionally. 

We were discussing getting another dog, preferably a younger dog, as Max is getting on in age as well. However, she had a hard time adjusting to Zeus when he came to live with us.  Granted, it was a different situation then, husband posted overseas for a year, so a new dog and losing her alpha had her very out of sorts.  Not sure how she would react now.  She’s older has some mobility issues, so would it be helpful or not?  Not really sure what to do, I just know that when she goes I will be devastated. Hopefully we have quite a few years left together.
