Lucy was my first dog. I got her in 1995, the week I moved out of my parents' house. She died in 2010 at the ripe old age of 14. This is my favorite picture of her. I thought it was lost forever.

I’m so glad I found it again!

I have had four dogs in my life and she was by far the smartest. Very easily teachable, very friendly, very social and, as you can see, quite patient.

I have overcome my grief, so no apologies for my loss are necessary. Of course I miss her, but seeing this photo made me so happy. It’s like getting one more moment with her all these years.

Such a cute photo. I’ve been trying to take more photos of my pupper. He’s 13 now, and anytime I’m not sure if I’ll ever be ready to lose him.

All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don’t pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.
Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.
Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.
