Adorable, what breed is he?

This is Buddy Boi. We met at the Humane Society (shelter in Palm Springs) 9 months ago and it was love at first sight! Put about 15 pounds of muscle on him (85lbs now) and we think he is about 3 years old. Also the reason I got the 550i as he could no longer ride in the front seat of the RAM comfortably.

Shelter pet! Way to go!

Thanks, I think so too! Still can't believe someone got rid of him. He was found wandering in Palm Springs and nobody claimed him. It has been a lot of work, but damn he is a great dog. He lets kids climb all over him but wants to attack any adult male that comes near me, so we still have work to do

He looks like a very lucky dog.

Had to put down our Greater Swiss Mountain Dog.

We're devastated. The kindest, most gentle soul you'd ever want to meet. I will miss you forever.

TiMSport · 05-13-2021, 10:34 PM

I'm very sorry for your loss. That was a handsome dog. He'll be with new friends now.

CDN-Driver · 05-13-2021, 10:43 PM

This is the hardest part of having pets. One just has to focus on all the good memories.

Esteban · 05-13-2021, 11:42 PM

Very hard because you love them and they're your baby.

I remember my cat I had a while back. 14 years old and had to be euthanized because of lymphoma. I took him to the vet and when they were ready to take him I kissed him and handed him to the tech and left crying.

Next time my kitty will be euthanized at home, where she'll be comfortable, and not scared. And I'll know everything that will happen because I'll see it with my own eyes. Hard to watch but better for her and that's what matters.

Because he is a good dog, he will be waiting for you on the other side of the "Rainbow Bridge", for when your time comes.

twin fed · 05-14-2021, 12:44 PM

Sorry for your loss, it is so difficult. We had to put down two dogs within 1 1/2 years of each other. It is so strange not to have them around. A little over a year ago we got our first replacement and just started to talk about another. Exciting and daunting at the same time.

Esteban · 05-14-2021, 12:59 PM

When we lost our cat we got another one from the shelter the next day. Helps with the pain IMO because you have another pet right away to get involved with and make comfortable, etc. and you don't have to think about the one you just lost. Helps get your mind off of it for now. You can remember later when it doesn't hurt as much. No reason to dwell on it while it's painful.

That's exactly what we did when we lost our previous dog (Boxer/German Shepherd mix) that was also a rescue.

DETRoadster · 05-15-2021, 11:13 AM

Linus is just chillin', toothless, killin' it.

Littlebear · 05-16-2021, 07:04 AM

The puppies keep coming.
A Bernadoodle on the right; an AussiePyrenese on the left. Some private parts on top.

TiMSport · 05-16-2021, 11:22 AM

All fun and games until someone's crotch has to go and ruin it all. Lol.
Luckily they weren't SHORT shorts.
