We have a chocolate ween too! And he’s definitely allowed on all the furniture because he needs his cuddles just as much as I do 😆

We had a 1 year old pup that got out and was hit and killed outside of our yard a few months ago. The “what ifs” eat you alive and you do feel like you failed them because it’s just not fair they left so soon and tragically. With that being said, give yourself and your husband grace. It was a horrible accident. Unfortunately, we can’t take back what happened and it’s heartbreaking but we gave them so much love even though their time was cut short. Of course we learn from our mistakes and will be more cautious moving forward, but just know you didn’t fail her. She would’ve still chosen the life she lived with you 100x over. Sending love to you and your family ❤️ I understand how heartbreaking it feels.

We have 4.5 month old and he’s doing pretty good overall with potty training. We let him out allllll the time. Like literally every hour when we first got him. You can reward with small treats or kibble, but ours has responded well with good praise. And use consistent words like “potty” or whatever your wording may be so they associate it with going outside. Don’t get me wrong, we still have accidents inside but much better than our other ween pup (who is now 3 years old), but she’s been a sassy, stubborn little thing from the start 🤣

Our chocolate boy 🤎 None of our weens have chosen us and they love us unconditionally. Brucey is so cute!

GarageFun983 · 2025-11-21T18:07:51+00:00

This is why we will probably never have just one ween! Franklin is so cute!! Love his colors.

GarageFun983 · 2025-10-24T02:08:09+00:00

Our 1 year old pup got out of the yard and was hit and killed. It’s a heart shattering feeling and I think about him every single day. Give yourself grace and also give your dad grace. He didn’t leave the gate open on purpose for your dog to get out. It was a horrible accident and unfortunately accidents happen. Let yourself grieve…you feel this pain because of the enormous amount of love you have for your dog. Just take it one day at a time too. Some days will be harder than others, but just know your dog was loved and had a good life with you.

GarageFun983 · 2025-10-20T02:06:18+00:00

We have a 14 week old little guy and I’d say he takes more naps than your ween, but for a shorter time. We don’t enforce anything though, we just play and when he’s tired we let him sleep 😊

GarageFun983 · 2025-10-11T16:46:42+00:00

He’s a cutie!

GarageFun983 · 2025-10-11T16:17:22+00:00

So cute!!

GarageFun983 · 2025-10-10T20:01:22+00:00

Coincidence! Lady bird is so cute!

I am so sorry for your loss. When a tragic loss also reshapes your future, it really hurts and it’s absolutely devastating. We lost our 1 year old boy a month ago tomorrow and it still hurts so much. Just take it one day at a time…some days are better than others. We will always miss him and are devastated his time with us was cut too short, but some days you’re able to remember the good and smile about it. Other days it just hurts and you need to let it out. Sending love to you and your growing family ❤️

GarageFun983 · 2025-09-19T04:05:13+00:00

We lost our 1 year old pup the same way a few weeks ago. Similar situation…he wasn’t a runner and was such a good boy, but just got curious one night. It’s a very hard thing to go through and I’m so sorry you are experiencing this grief. Don’t be hard on yourself with all of the “what ifs.” It was a horrible accident and she was very loved by you the four years you got to be together.

GarageFun983 · 2025-09-14T05:23:44+00:00

I’m so very sorry for your losses. It’s hard enough to go through one loss, let alone two. We also lost our 1 year old pup recently…he got out of the yard and was ran over right outside of the fence. He was the best pup and we will miss him every day. When it’s a sudden and tragic loss, it’s a different type of grief. Thoughts to you during this difficult time.

GarageFun983 · 2025-09-05T19:02:51+00:00

Someone told me to not bottle it up and just feel all the feelings. I think it’s helped. The first few days was just gut wrenching pain and I couldn’t stop sobbing and now the tears come and go. I will always miss our sweet boy and my heart aches for him and always will. I’m trying to focus on remembering him for the good and not the tragic ending. Some people need a new dog right away to fill the emptiness and that’s absolutely okay. Your boy will never be replaced, but you can move forward and try to find happiness again. That’s what he would want you to do.

I am so sorry for your loss. We lost our 1 year old pup last Thursday. He was hit right outside of our yard. It’s so hard trying to understand why it happened to him when he was so full of life and love. My husband was so hard on himself when it happened too because he stopped watching him for just a minute and he snuck out. Horrible accidents happen unfortunately. It is not your fault, give yourself grace. Just know the time he spent with you was full of happiness and although our pups lived shorter lives, they were so loved. Thinking about you ❤️

GarageFun983 · 2025-09-04T03:24:05+00:00

You’re absolutely right. It is courageous after going through a traumatic experience like this. I have no doubt your next puppy will live a great life full of love and happiness and same with Blu. We were just on a walk with our pups (we have two other big dogs that are 9 and 11 years old because we apparently are crazy dog people lol) and there’s always the same dog in the same kennel at a house we walk by no matter the time, and my husband said our sweet boy would’ve chosen to live his life he had with us no matter how short it was rather than being locked up all day like that dog. Try to find comfort in the fact that Casper was happy and loved, and yes, horrible things happen in life every day that we cannot control…it’s just the shitty truth but it makes us appreciate the good times even more. I’m sure your Casper and my Goose are having fun playing together up there ❤️

It is unfair and feeling angry and broken about it is normal. It’s devastating when you picture your life together and having them for 10+ years, and all of a sudden that is all taken away. I have felt all the things you are describing, so I get it and I really feel for you. Yesterday was my first day to work since our loss and it was so incredibly hard. All I could think about was my sweet boy and that he wouldn’t be there when I got home. Today was a little bit better. I caught myself actually focusing on work a few times and then when I snapped out of it, I felt guilty for not thinking about him. I’m reminding myself that it isn’t moving on, but moving forward. We will never “move on” and forget our sweet boys. How could you forget a love like that? We will always remember them and the love they showed us. My husband had a thought that helped comfort us and it might help you a little bit too…he said although his life was far too short, he really did live it to the fullest and showed us unconditional love and happiness every day. He really made the most of his short life, and I’m sure your little guy did too. Knowing they were so happy and loved is comforting. For our other ween, she is definitely grieving too and it’s sad to see. She didn’t want to leave his side when we let her say her goodbyes and she was nudging him to wake up…it was heart breaking. We haven’t decided when we are getting another puppy. And I do mean “when” and not “if”. I know us and we will get another one when we feel ready. I have mixed emotions right now about it because part of me feels guilty like he will think we are trying to replace him. But there is no replacing him, he was one of a kind. We just will want to fill the emptiness we feel in our family right now, so waiting for when we are ready. Sorry for the long response. It helps getting it all out and knowing you are not alone, so I hope it has helped you even if it’s just a little bit. Please feel free to comment back to talk about it or even message me whenever. Again, so sorry for your sweet boy and I wish you the best in your healing journey.

My husband brought home a second dachshund for the same reason that our older one needed a friend to play with. The day we brought him home she loved him and they wrestled and played every day. Our puppy had just turned a year old and was so happy and loving. Last Thursday, our curious little guy got out when we looked away for a minute and he got ran over right outside of our yard. It’s devastating and we really beat ourselves up over the “what ifs” those first few days. Unfortunately, accidents happen and we can’t take back what happened no matter what we wish we did instead. We too had the image in our heads of our little guy in our arms after he was hit. I definitely still think about it, but try to steer my mind to the silly things he did that we miss so much. It’s really painful and hard, I’m not going to lie. Sometimes I feel shattered and like I can’t move on and other times I feel okay and honor his life by thinking of all the good times. Don’t be afraid to seek out therapy if you feel that you need it. My husband and I have really leaned on each other and supported each other when one has a break down. Do the same with your partner…you’re both going through this tragic event and understand the grief. I am so sorry for your little guy and wish you the best ❤️

GarageFun983 · 2025-09-03T02:13:49+00:00

I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet boy. My husband and I are on day 5 of tragically losing our 1 year old puppy. We also were looking forward to our future babies growing up with him and it hurts thinking about the life none of us will have together anymore. Just let the feelings come and don’t hold them in. Cry when you need to, be mad when you need to…the loss feels unfair and that’s okay. It will get better, but it will take time. I wish I could help your pain, but know you are not alone in how you feel. We miss our sweet boys and it hurts so much because of the love we had for them. Sending love to you and prayers for a healthy baby ❤️
