I wrote a few weeks ago about Ratchet's health and struggles. Looking for some insight or advice on if considering saying goodbye was the right decision. I want to thank you all for your guidance and kind words during that time.

We were so blessed to have him for 2 additional weeks, he rallied multiple times between that time. Good moments of walks, play, foods and lots of energy and laughs together. Also some bad days between, where he didn't want to eat or do much.

The last week we noticed when he would eat he would spend hours pacing the house, barking and clearly not feeling ok. We knew he was telling us, in the best way he could, that he wasn't feeling okay anymore. It shattered us, we wanted so badly for a miracle or some kind, to make his pain, his disease and his hurt to disappear. I would pray I could take his hurt from him and make it all better.

We loved him endlessly, we did everything we could to keep him healthy and happy.

Today we said goodbye to our little guy, our everything. We knew the time was right. Up until his last moments he went for a walk, played with us in the living room, got endless treats and attention. He was strong body and mind until the bitter end. We just know inside he was hurting.

We have dreaded this day for so long. But he went so peacefully in our arms. As difficult as it was and still is, it was a beautiful gift to be able to let him go with dignity and honor. We will honor him for the rest of our existence and beyond. He was the best boy with so much personality.

I'm going to miss everything about him, the silence in our house is deafening. We have had many tears and even laughs together, reminiscing on his life. It was easy and an honor to love you Ratchet. 14 amazing years.

Hold your little ones close today, give them extra kisses and lots of love and a peanut butter kong in honor of Ratchet.

Rainbow bridge got a beautiful new addition today, wreaking havoc I'm sure ❤️🌈

His favorite way to hand out 🤣

It’s been over 24 hours and I’m still processing the loss of my dearest Murphy girl. 11 years was not simply enough.

Nothing I could say could ever do her justice, and to be honest I’m still reeling and am at a loss for words. What I can say about my little velcro dog is that she was one of the greatest gifts ever given to me and has been the bestest four legged friend and fur kid anyone could ask for. From the time she was 8 weeks old, she was there with her unconditional love and companionship - she was there during the mundane everyday moments, was there to celebrate with me during the highest points of my life, and more importantly was there to help me get through some of my darkest moments, forcing me to get up for walkies on even the hardest days. She was also an excellent mentor and friend to her fur siblings and the best roadtrip companion.

The house is too quiet without her and I don’t know how I will get over this loss 💔

He was OK until he noticed it was moving, then he decided it was clearly a threat!

I had to take a picture ❤️

Today Lola gets grandma time.

Ms.B and Tucker boy

While I had the work day from hell Douglas had an equally tough day laying on the couch bc it was raining. Are your Bostons cat-dogs too? Doug hates the rain so much! He then had an exhausting game of rabbit ear hunt where he got to run all around our new house chasing a rabbit ear before chowing down. After a successful kill of course it’s time for another nap curled up on the couch next to mom! This picture was taken after I so rudely dared to get up off the couch…waking the poor innocent baby

I love him so much 😭

No idea where she picked this up but this is the pose she makes when you are on the opposite side of the room and she wants that attention. Anyone else’s dogs got this “paint me like one your French bull dogs” pose going on? Haha

Molly and Max think if they don’t make eye contact it never happened..

I don’t even know how she bent that way.

And he’s Looking and feeling great! … Derp

Mochi is now 6 months old. She was a snuggly puppy and now she never wants to cuddle. When does it come back?! She just likes to be feral and attack blankets. Constant zoomies. No loving. All play. 🤣

Our boy loves to gnaw on things - most fabrics like a blanket or parts of his plushies. He’s currently on a special food diet so bones/bully sticks are off limits. He did just lose one of his canine teeth so nothing too hard. Any recommendations/suggestions?

Hey yall any advice on how to remove dog urine from a sectional. My 4 month old pup had an accident on the couch (he usually never does) and i’m not sure how to clean it. I tried applying enzyme cleaner (not sure if I have a trustworthy one it is the HMK GROUP one) then let it dry for like 2-3 hours then i put on a dry towel to let it soak up everything but after a day now the smell is still kinda there, the stain is still visible and i don’t think that towel really soaked anything. ANY type of advice would be highly appreciated cause i’m sure other people have gone through the same thing.
