Just thought I’d put this out there.
I was fortunate my parents always made sure my brother and I grew up with dogs in our family.
They teach us what unconditional love and friendship really mean and unfortunately also teach us about loss and the grieving process.
Boxers are our breed of choice, I currently have 2 (one of which is a rescue).
In my world treating animals kindly is an indicator of what type of person you are, to that end something popped up on Instagram that caught my eye.
Winnipeg Blue Bomber Brady Oliviera is passionate about rescuing dogs in the Manitoba area and is currently in Mexico rescuing dogs and working to get them into the United States and Canada.
In a world where professional athletes often come off as arrogant and self centred this is quite refreshing to see.
Much respect to him and his cause!👍🇨🇦

He certainly is. I have so much respect for what he does. I may be a year late to this thread, but having met Argos57’s older dog, I can say he is awesome. I have a 16 year old shitzhu which went blind a couple of years ago. I miss her having moved out of the family home after getting married in 2021, but still make lots of trips home to see her. We also have a cat in the family home that my brother found abandoned along with 3 others about 9 years ago. They must have been only a month old. We nursed them for the next couple of months and found good homes for the other 3, but kept the one.
My wife has a chihuahua which is 6 years old. She barks at dogs, people, you name it. Took her about a month to warm up to me, and now she just won’t leave me alone.
Pets make this world a better place.

Angelo, thank you for the kinds words in regards to my boy Bo, love the guy and glad we rescued him.
We think we rescue them but in fact they rescue us and make our lives so much better!
Little did I know when I started this thread we would lose our other dog Haley just 3 weeks later, still hurts like hell TBH.
Your pup is cute as well, I especially enjoy the love she shows Chris when we get together to watch Argo games.

Styx (? - 20 January 2015 R.I.P.) was the best model The WOMAN or I ever had. Here are some shots:

Styx above had just learned that Grandma's Diner was closed for the day because Grandma had taken the day off to go to the cottage. Deuce didn't know yet.

Sweet cat Foxhound. Looks just like the one my family kept of the 4 we found.
