Our Awesome Boy Nambo, Suffered With Degenerative Myelopathy. Best Dog Ever. We Lost Him In May
Look at that happy face! You were his whole world. You were his whole life. You gave him such a wonderful life. What happy memories I hope you have.
Sebby's Mama - thank you. We were the lucky ones to have spent the last 12 years with the best boy anyone could have
Thank you Bored Raven, we have some fantastic memories that mean the world to us
I am so sorry for your loss! He looks like such a wonderful and adventurous dog. I'm glad that you were able to share many happy memories with him.
Max! He Had A Double Enucleation And Was Blind Most Of His Life. He Never Stopped Running Or Playing. Rip My Best Boy

What a sweet boy! I hope that you have many wonderful memories that you cherished with him.

Layla, My Sweet 14 Year Old Furry Angel
Our neighbor had a 15 year old white dog (i forget the breed) who had leg problems and they had to put her down because she had trouble getting up and would fall. :-( Always sad to lose a pet even if it is not yours.

Horses have some of the most diverse personalities I've ever seen in animals. They are incredible beauties.
I love horses too, was hoping to see a senior horse on this list, because I know a few (including a 40+ Shetty). But if I understand this is a therapy horse, right? He hasn't PTSD himself, correct? And he doesn't look old either. So... sorry, but he doesn't actually fit in this list.
Horses are such magical healers. I'm glad you guys have each other ❤️
What a stunning horse! Brax surely looks like a kind and caring gentle giant. I adore horses and think they are such kind and understanding creatures.
Sebastian, The Happiest Doggo Ever, Has Elbow Dysplasia And Limited Vision
I adopted Seb when he was (around) 3. His hair was long and incredibly matted, he had untreated eye damage, and elbow dysplasia. He's now 6(ish), and the happiest dog I've ever known. Nothing gets him down and he loves everyone ❤️
So adorable! And so comforting to know he has a good, loving home now.
Mea Culpa, Papillon-Jack Russell Mix, Age 18.5
We lost her in November of 2021. She'd been with our family since she was 4 weeks old. We were at a graduation party in a park when a little girl walked up with a sweet black and white poof ball in a tomato crate. She said her mom told her "nice people go to graduation parties." My mom didn't want her until other people were interested - then, she grabbed the little baby and said she'd give her a good home. Mea stayed by my dad's side until he passed away on the fourth of July, 2011. My husband and I brought her home with us thereafter, and she enjoyed 10 more years with us. She played soccer, ran faster than border collies, walked her own dang self at the leash-off dog park, helped me when I had seizures...in short, was a far better dog than we deserved. I am so grateful for the time we had with her 💔♥️
Sounds like you were both very lucky to have had each other, especially for so long ❤️
Load More Replies...It sounds like she had a wonderful life-everything a dog needs to live happy and fulfilling all their needs. So very sorry for your loss.
Oh dear, so sorry! I realize the post of the dog passing was the OPs. My deepest apologies. She looked quite spy in this photo though, and happy

Thank you so much ♥️ we were really fortunate to have found him when we did.

Load More Replies...Nemo, My 15/16 Year Old Goldfish!
I need to be blunt because this is something that really triggers me. 1. This goldfish is actually a young adult since fancy goldfish like them can live to be fifty years old in a decent tank. 2. If you're goldfish dies young it's probably your fault! They are very smart and hardy creatures but putting them in a bowl is the equivalent of you living your entire life in your bathroom. You can never leave for anything, no one cleans it and you depend on someone else to remember to feed you. Next time you get a pet, any pet. No matter how small do some research!!! Remember, they are living creatures who can feel pain, fear and happiness.
That is true, I know fish can get really old when taken good care of. I added mine because he is at an age not a lot of people see their fish grow and he has a lot of signs of old age. I think it depends on the fish, but definitely on the person too! TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR PETS!! Still, I think that owning a pet doesn't mean you have to stress about wether you're a good owner or not. With Nemo, we went with the flow and changed something if we thought it needed change (like getting a bigger tank or refreshing the plants). "Take good care of an animal" doesn't mean "take perfect care of an animal", because that is simply not possible.
Load More Replies...They thrive in large tanks. Best is 25 gallons or larger.

Have you taught her a lot of tricks? Pigs are so intelligent and vastly underrated, I think.
We're still working on learning to trust. She came from a rough place so hands coming toward her a still a little scary. It takes a pig a long time to recover from a negative experience. My younger pigs all know how to spin for treats though. I know Ivy girl would pick that up in a second because she's easily the smartest pig in the yard. 😊

Püppi Or "Oma" 8 Yrs. Ago. (Puppies Are 9 Now) It's Sometimes Sad To Visit Them & Remember
Please don't ignore health issues because of old age. Yes, arthritis and heart problems often come wirh age, but there is no reason a living being should have pain walking or standing up. A good vet knows how to help.
You have such a kind heart. Thank you for the good advice. We always talked with the vet about nutritional add-ins to prevent tooth loss and pain rather than playing catch-up after tooth loss and pain started, and I really think it made a big difference in Mea's vitality and longevity. She made it to 18.5 without losing a single adult tooth. She did break a tiny toe, requiring a cast, after rolling over her soccer ball.

I had a goldfish that only lasted a few days :-( RIP Fishy

I wrote a description of him but can.t find it:0 He really has saved my life 3 times. Once, about 3 am, he would not stop sorta swatting me in the face. He´d never done this. I became irritated, opened the door to let him out and saw the entire house was in flames. The firefighters told me I would have been dead in 30 more minutes from smoke inhalation had he not gotten me up. Honestly, I cannot imagine my life without him. The thought terrifies me. Keep us in your prayers, please.
Thank you all so much for the points! It means so much to me to see Chester is thought of so kindly. Thank you!
