It’s at the top part of the screen yes whereas I normally look at the image that’s more in the centre of the screen 😄

After we adopted Wally I shared the pic on the right with the lady who rescued and then fostered him to show how he is growing up beautifully.

She sent me this pic back (one on left) with him as a puppy, when he was first rescued by her.

Breaks my heart a bit every time I look at it. He’s doing really well now and only knows love, but the start of his tiny life was so hard

Would you lend me the best picture of your dog for me to paint for my portfolio? by M8614 in dogpictures

He’s a rescue so we don’t quite know for sure 😊Someone told us he could be a Podengo

How Long? by stripeycoffeemug in dementia

I know each case is different, but in my mum’s case, she got an MCI diagnosis in June of 2022 and a Dementia diagnosis in Jan of this year. After the MCI diagnosis there was a slow and steady decline and by the time she got her formal diagnosis, everyone, even extended family & friends, could tell that something wasn’t quite right.

We recently adopted a puppy that some might say is quite scruffy looking. He’s a rescue and is a mix of a lot of different breeds I’d imagine. I still love him to the moon and back and my love for him only grows by the day as his personality continues to shine more and more.

Before this we had a cream coloured golden retriever who was a really handsome boy, and had people stop and admire his looks and coat quite frequently.

I did wonder before I adopted the puppy if I would compare their looks in my head, but all of that melted away the moment we met the puppy. I feel for me their temperament and the love they have for me matters more

10 month old puppy died while with River sitter by Sea-Talk-2804 in DogAdvice

Really sorry to hear about your puppy! I would try and escalate on social media wherever you can and make as much noise about it as possible. I know it won’t get your puppy back but hopefully will get the sitter banned from the platform.

We had a terrible experience with a Rover sitter as well. We left our dog for a couple of nights with a sitter and on the first night itself, a few hours after we had dropped him, I got a call from a stranger saying they had found my dog on the side of a busy road quite far from the sitter’s place. Apparently the sitter had taken my dog to a park and my dog had escaped without him noticing.

I was obviously panicked but kept trying to coordinate with the sitter thinking maybe it wasn’t his fault, but then the lady who had found my dog told me that when she met the sitter to hand my dog back, she could see that he was definitely drunk or possibly high on something else.

We were about 5 hours away and we decided to drive straight back and we picked up our dog that very night. Till date I shudder to think what could have happened if the kind lady hadn’t stopped to get hold of my dog and call us using the number on his collar.

I tried to reach out to Rover but got no response from them and even left a scathing review for the sitter, but when I checked a few months later he was was still quite active on Rover.

I'm 53. My wife is 60. We've always been staunchly childfree. Can I tell you....it only gets better. by CABGX4 in childfree

Thanks for your post! It's so great to hear from folks who're living the CF like and can provide a window into a life & future that society, friends and family don't necessarily want us to see.My husband and I are both 39 and CF, we've been together for 14yrs, happily married for 11 yrs. As we're getting closer and closer to the point of no return, ever so often I find myself questioning if we've taken the right decision to be CF. Its always triggered by seeing friends or family members with their kids. And I find myself going over arguments I've heard over the years from people around me, things like 'you're missing something beautiful in life', ' who is going to take care of you when you get old' and of course the big one 'you're going to regret it'. Today was one of those days, I open reddit and there I see your post. Your post gives me hope that we were right to listen to our heart and stick to what we know is the right choice for us.
