My dog Mr. Tooticus Rex (a French bulldog/pit bull mix) is sitting in the backseat of my car looking very smiley and happy because he knows he's going to be getting some food.

We went to the drive-in for burgers. Mr. #TooticusRex was super happy about getting a pup patty. ♥️

My dog Mr. Tooticus Rex is lying on the ground looking up at me while I take a picture of him. He is a blue pit bull/French bulldog mix with a white tuxedo chest, and is very cute.

Haha, there were a lot of outtakes because Mr. Tooticus Rex (on the right) is so insanely food motivated he can't wait. Baboy (left) and Wulo (center) were champs, though. They were so tolerant and patient with me always wanting to take pictures of them. ♥️

A picture from 2015 with my dog Wulo (blond/white, blue collar) on the left and Baboy (blue/white, black collar) on the right. Both are pit bull terrier mixes. This is a long shot, taken at eye level with my dogs sitting on the driveway, and the park area behind them seems really far away. The picture was taken in the fall so there are leaves all over the driveway around them. I unexpectedly had to say goodbye to Baboy 6.1.2024. He was somewhere between 12-13 years old. He was having concerning symptoms and I took him to the emergency vet expecting that whatever it was would be treatable...and it wasn't. It seriously was one of the worst days of my life, Baboy was the love of my life and my heart dog and I definitely wasn't ready. Wulo was very different. He was fifteen when we said goodbye July 1. His last year with us he had been diagnosed with some really serious health stuff and pretty much any vet would have said we had a few weeks together. We had a year. And 8-10 months of that was really really good. The last 3 or so months, it got a lot harder, but we were able to keep him happy and comfortable. When the last day came, it was time because we had reached the floor where the concern was no matter how hard I tried, he would not be able to stay happy and comfortable. So saying goodbye was super sad and hard, but there is no feeling that we lost him too soon the way it was with Baboy. This has been a really difficult 18 months and I just don't know what else I can say about it.

Within one day of exactly 13 months since I had to say goodbye to #BaboyTheDog I also had to say goodbye to #WuloTheOriginal. The 1st and 2nd days of the month are going to be sad for me for a very long time. I miss them both so much.

My dogs are sitting in the middle of the room with sun coming in through the window. They are all pit bull mixes. Baboy (blue/white) is on the left, Wulo (blond/white) is in the middle, Mr. Tooticus Rex (blue/white) is on the right. Sadly, both Baboy and Wulo are gone now. We unexpectedly had to say goodbye to Baboy just over a year ago. And we had to say goodbye to Wulo yesterday.

The teefs! ♥️

She is so cute. ♥️

My oldest dog will be 15 in July and as of this week, I think we are one day at a time too. Agreed they should be able to do whatever they want when there is so little time left together. I am so sorry and I hope these last days are beautiful ones for you and Alphonse.

I am with my dog Mr. Tooticus Rex at a vet follow up visit. Everything is fine, just when he got sick last November (we almost lost him), the treatment protocol takes a year. We are in an exam room where there is a floor to ceiling window, so Tooticus is lying on the floor by the window in the sun spot.

When you are at the vet (again) for another follow up BUT you can enjoy the sun spot in good ol' climate control...

I love them! ♥️ You have a full house. When I had three, I felt like that was a lot. You have more than doubled that.

So adorable. I love the white face. ♥️

I am so sorry about Arli.

When they sleep like that it is because they are happy and comfortable and know they are loved. ♥️

A picture from 2018 where my dogs Baboy (left) and Wulo (right) are sitting in the back of my car with the window open. They are both happy and excited because I am about to give them chicken nuggets. They were brothers that were together for 11 years until I unexpectedly had to say goodbye to Baboy exactly 11 months ago. Now Wulo is almost 15 and was recently diagnosed with a type of cancer called insulinoma. We are still able to keep him happy and comfortable for now, but his health has deteriorated significantly since February 14. I know we don't have much time left together and combined with the around the clock care he needs right now, I am having a tough time of it lately.

Happy times in 2018. It is exactly 11 months since I unexpectedly had to say goodbye to #BaboyTheDog and #WuloTheOriginal, who is almost 15, has been diagnosed pancreatic cancer. These are tough times and I am really feeling it right now.

I feel that way about mine as well. ♥️

Wulo has done this since he was a puppy. He is almost 15 now. This morning he had a neurological episode and so it makes me super happy to see him sleeping so comfortably just an hour or so later.

My dog Wulo is lying sprawled out on his bed, feet everywhere, and with his head hanging off the bed and his muzzle on the floor. It doesn't look comfortable but it must be because he is completely crashed out sleeping and snoring.

Well, if it wasn't comfortable he would move. ♥️

I love him!!!

She is so cute. 😍

I don't think I will adopt any other kind of dog. So many of them need homes and will never find one.

You are right, 14 is an extraordinary run...and yet not nearly long enough. Losing them is the hardest part about loving them.

It is weird how there were some things I had to change right away (the water bowl setup) and the things I can't change 10 months later (Baboy's food scoop). It has been really hard. I am so sorry about your cat. They are never with us long enough. ♥️

A picture of my dog Baboy from April 2, 2019. He is lying on my bed looking smooshy and adorable, with his tongue flopped out as always.

10 months since I unexpectedly had to say goodbye to my Pig. I miss him all day every day. He was the most perfect, bestest boy.

My dogs Mr. Tooticus Rex (blue) and Wulo (blond) are lying in the back of my car while we are on the road. They are cuddled next to each other, side by side, head to tail.

My dogs Baboy and Wulo lying on a couch covered with a dark gray sheet. Wulo (blonde/white dog) is lying on his side and Baboy is curled up behind him with his head on Wulo's shoulder. Baboy's tongue is flopped out. Wulo's deflated blue spiky ball is next to him. I unexpectedly had to say goodbye to Baboy 6.2.2024 and Wulo is almost 15 and having health issues. Seeing this picture makes me sad for the days when we were all together and the dogs were healthy. Everything just seems to have kind of fallen apart with Baboy gone.

Happy times with #BaboyTheDog and #WuloTheOriginal in 2018. The Pig is gone now and Wulo is almost 15. I would give pretty much anything to have days like these back again.

I saw your previous post about Roo being only 8. What a gut punch. I am so sorry. Losing them is the hardest part about loving them. Their lives are so short.

My dog Wulo is lying on a stack of six kennel mats covered by a sheet. He has two balls and is covered with a blanket. He is looking cute and hoping I have more snacks for him. -------- Wulo will be 15 in July. He has a serious heart issue and also a progressive neurological issue that we are unable to diagnose because of his heart. Since being diagnosed last July/August Wulo's quality of life has been very good. But as of February 14 a couple of things have happened where it appears the neurological issue is progressing. We are able to manage the symptoms for now and keep him happy and comfortable, but the changes just since February 14 have been dramatic. I am not sure how much time we have left together. I am trying to focus on the fact that we are doing everything we can for him and he is happy, comfortable, eating like a champ, sleeping really great, and enjoying being out in the sun, but it is really hard.

My #Stinkapus looking super cute this morning. The last 2 weeks have been rough and it is looking like the plateau we were on for the last 8-9 months, we are not going to get back there. It is so hard watching them get old.

My two dogs, Mr. Tooticus Rex (left) and Baboy (right) lying on their beds in front of the couch. They are under blankets and are sleeping. They are super comfortable and happy.

Picture of happy times from our 2024 Colorado trip. Exactly 9 months ago today I unexpectedly had to say goodbye to my Pig (right).

We arrived at the same place today and it is super emotional because he isn't here.

Thank you. His eyeliner is on point!

Thank you. I am so happy because on Wednesday I was worried we would need to say goodbye in the next few days. But it is possible we can manage the neurological condition and slow the progression, so I think we can keep him happy and comfortable for a while longer.

Soooo adorable!
