Just saw this thread so thought I would join. This is Murphy. This was back in February so he's a bit bigger now. Doesn't really come up to listen to much, more to pester for attention.

Murph!

Hello Murphy, glad to have you here!

It’s with a heavy heart I have to report that we lost our Pepper today. He has fought with severe arthritis for a while now, but the last week or so he’s had partial paralysis and today the pain meds were no longer doing their thing. My heart is a mess, but he will always be my best buddy. I love you Pep.

@static - That is really sad news. Thoughts for your family. Rest In peace, Pepper.

[Bezulsqy]

@ Static
I am very sorry to hear about your loss. RIP Pepper. My thoughts are with you and your family.

[ScoJo]

Heartbreak, Chris. So sorry. I bet the fella had an amazing life, much loved. And he certainly got to listen to some great music.

We lost our family Weimaraner about a year ago, under quite tragic circumstances - only 3 years old. It's a pain which never quite leaves, but a pain which serves to remind and remember. It's a hard life for the little things. <3

[Mateo Sanboval]

I'm so sorry, Brother. There are few things like the bond between a person and their pup. I've felt the pain of that loss before and I dread the inevitable day that I feel it again. All we can do is give them our best because Lord knows they give us theirs. To Pepper!

Thanks for all the kind words and well wishes.

[EvanCampbell]

This is really sad! Chris

I hope you and the family are doing ok. This is a tough one :(

Best wishes

Thanks Evan. We’re hanging in there. He really was a truly good boy.

Well. We all felt the house was far too empty without a dog. So here’s my new listening buddy, Buddy. :)

[Bezulsqy]

@Static, that is a very beautiful dog. Buddy, welcome!

[Mateo Sanboval]

Hey Buddy!

Static, what's Buddy's story?

[static14]

We picked up him last Saturday after he spent the day being driven up to VA from SC. He’s an Australian Shepherd mix, about a year old. Not a lot of info on his background other then he was removed from a home with too many dogs.

He’s a complete sweet heart and smart as hell. In the past few days he’s learned sit, down, and that stairs aren't a portal to hell. :)

[deafmetal]

Buddy! Looks like a keeper, @static. I'm afraid I'm in for some rough days ahead myself. My oldest dog is fifteen (15!) years young and still truckin', and our second oldest is also about 12-13 years from our best guess. They have slowed down quite a lot over the last many years, but it's still very difficult to imagine life without them.

@deaf here’s hoping for many more healthy loving years for your pups.

[ScoJo]

@deaf and @static - this thread is just too much of an emotional rollercoaster..... Chris, Buddy is a honey. <3 Mark, the disparity between dog and human lifespans is for sure the cruelest of jokes, payed by a non-existent diety (if proof were needed!)

Bigup all the furry listening friends!!

That's great stuff. It's a challenge adopting a working pup like Buddy. Especially so when ther're already rings on the tree. Good for you guys and enjoy the endless walks and ball/frisbee sessions!

Hear hear.

Here's my listening buddy, Beast, although his full name is actually Blood Feast. He surprisingly is very tolerant of a lot of music I put on. The record player scares him though, he doesn't like the sound it makes when the auto return starts and if I happen to be carrying him while a record is spinning and he sees it, it creeps him out. I felt bad the other day, I was listening to the TCM boot and his ears were pinned back, eyes wide and looking around really worried. I shut it off and just decided it would be a headphone album. I was never a cat person but my wife wanted one about 5 years ago and we decided to adopt, he was abandoned and returned to the shelter at least 3 times. He is one of the most affectionate cats I've ever seen, he loves human attention and sometimes demands that I get on the couch and let him fall asleep on my lap. It's pretty funny.
