Five years later (previous photos she was only a few weeks old, still with the breeder).
She knows how to ask for treats in her kong:

sad day as we had to put Moxie down today, 16 years old and he broke his back leg . he would of needed major surgery and at his age it wasn't fair to do it. so not a great day.
Common sense is not as common as you think.
I am sorry for your loss. Very sad.

So sad when you lose a PET family member. 😢
Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.
Yeah I have been there too. Heartbreaking. It will take time to stop hurting.

This is our three-legged foster cat "Star":

Her left rear leg amputated at the hip a couple of weeks ago - never did get the back story. Seems very happy and has no problem jumping up and down from a bed. Wanted to call it "Tripod" but SPCA discourage name changing foster pets...
Brian, my puffer fish from a few years ago. I never realized fish could have attitude until he showed up.

There’s something distinctly humorous about fish naming. What does it take to get him to inflate?

Dunno. Never tried it. Apparently it is a last-resort sort of response, and can often kill them. Being my pet, I was less than willing to try just to see what it looked like.

Ones I’ve seen scuba diving in NZ puff up at the first hint of contact

@vexxxboy So sorry for you. 16 years is a long time to have a friend around so you must be feeling very empty. Finding a new pet may help fill the void and take your mind away. Circle of life never gets easier no matter how it’s presented.
We did get a dog a year or so ago for this reason , but they became such good friends he spent most of the day looking for Moxie , again sad all round.

Wow that’s double sadness. Very difficult. Maybe take the young one to SPCA and see if it gets attracted to another animal.
Update on Cody, our rescue golden lab.
We suspect he was unwanted/runt of a litter, as first few days we had him, he would bolt soon as we picked up a food bowl, didn't like the dark, skinny, nervous as heck and we thought he was mute.
After a month he went for his first visit to the vets with us, they said all good, and noticed that he had chips on his canines - usually a sign of a dog chewing at fencing.
So we think he was left in a dark cage, and if made a sound got bashed with a bowl.
But now, he is so happy, the tail never stops, loves giving kisses, and is an all round goof ball. He has found his voice but uses it rarely, and can be a little odd around new people - some people he'll just go straight up to them and be happy. Others, he is extremely cautious with but eventually comes round. (Oh crap, I can hear him going zoomies in the lounge as I type this - he is FAST for a lab - glad the carpet is old)
Other dogs hes a bit wary, larger ones he handles ok but small ones, he quite often goes into submissive mode and drops to the ground. We'll get him to some doggie day care to help with that, along with some extra lessons as his recall is pretty poor, but slowly improving.
We wouldn't be without him.

Awful that humans can treat animals so bad that they are terrified. Labs are such loving animals, really don’t know how anyone can be cruel to them. Imagine how those same people treat their kids. Good for you taking a rescue dog and making it happy, classic soft looking pooch with expressive eyes.
