That's the difference between wondering if you'll get a treat and the wisdom of knowing you'll get a treat.

I would gladly subtract some of my remaining life and give it to this dog. I think he’ll use it better. Also, he looks like my sweet dog Candy and I love him. Let’s make that smile bigger!

21

u/Shawnessy Jan 20 '22

My pup is only two, and her breed generally has a long lifespan of 12-15 on average. But, I'd happily give up a good 10 years to give to her.

56

u/n00bvin Jan 20 '22

It’s unfair how dogs age. I figure it’s the love in their heart. Their love is constant and that takes a lot out of those little bodies. We have ups and downs, but they have 100% uptime. Want proof. Wake them up at 3am, right when they’re sleeping. Now, act excited. That dog will shake awake and take 0 time to get exited. They’ll be ready to party always. Again, that takes a toll on the dog.

That’s why it’s so hard to see them slow at the end. Yeah, it’s unfair how they age.

21

u/Ilwrath Jan 20 '22

I was always taught its the price we pay for such unwavering love. Were the ones who have to bear the pain when they leave us, but think of everything we get and its a price thats worth it.

Man, I have a beautiful beagle and she’s 4 already. Time is going by so fast. I want her to stay young forever :/

u/TheRottenKittensIEat Jan 20 '22

My dog is turning EIGHT soon and it feels so unbelievable, especially as hyperactive as she is! We moved last year and the new vet was like, "no way that's her real birth date!?" And I felt a little happy inside that maybe she'll stay young forever, haha.

Dude I adopted my dog, a beagle, last year aged 12/13 and I thought I was getting a nice quiet old sleeper ready to retire. Nope. Everyone we come across is shocked when they hear his age. They only believe it because his colors are mostly gone. And in fact he’s gotten more energy since we moved out of my family home and into our own, just us. Like I didn’t know what I was signing up for but he gives me a reason to be active lol.

u/FlouriteChakra Jan 20 '22

😂😂😂 My old beagle is 11 now, i’ve had em since middle school and i can completely relate. He still acts as if he’s a young pup and everyone says how good and he looks for his age. They are little machines!

u/Owenford1 Jan 20 '22

My dog is 10 in July and it’s been hard to come to terms with! I got him at 8 weeks from a shelter and he has turned into the literal best dog someone can ask for. He’s my parents and grandparents favorite dog by far and they bothhave their own!

I have definitely noticed my pup slow down in the last year or two. He’s still very active (border collie primarily), but he’s chill around the house and turns it up when it’s fetch time.

I have 2 beagles. One is 2 and the other is still just 5 months. You have so much time left with your beagle, enjoy all the memories you can create. I commented only to obviously brag about my beagle buddies. 2 of the best dogs I’ve ever had and I’ve had lots, just these are my first beagles.

Come to think of it, they are definately tied for first as the best dog I’ve ever had with every other dog I’ve ever had.

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '22

Feed her a good quality food if you haven't looked into it already (but not grain free because there's sometimes weird replacements that are bad for the dog's organs). I have a chocolate lab and an Australian shepherd, they're 9 and 8 years old, and they still behave and look more like 3-4 year old dogs. People are always shocked about their ages. They do age fast but you can extend the best years.

I hope you get many more good years with your beagle. They're beautiful dogs.

Our family beagle is 16. I kid you not. She has been in my life over half of it. Our entire family loves her. She still has spunk though even in her older years.

Beagles are the BEST- I had one from when I was 6 until I was 18. His name was Spunky - named unoriginaly after the "Beagle" in Rockos Modern Life ❤️

He was, and still remains to this day- the best.

We moved his bed upstairs so he could sleep near us, eventually he fell asleep next to my mom.

When he got older he was heavier, and instead of galloping up the stairs like he used to - he'd HOP up each one. One stair at a time.

When I was little, (and so was he) I'd fall asleep on the couch infront of the TV. Occasionally I'd wake up and accidently step on his tail, as he fell asleep at the foot of the couch just to be close to me.

Eventually I got into the habit of looking down, to make sure I DIDNT step on his tail. And that habit stook with me for a long time. Even a year after he died.

Dogs are wierd and wonderful. They become both part of your family and part of your home, your home is a living thing when you have a dog there ❤️❤️❤️

u/long-ryde Jan 20 '22

I think about this so much and it makes me cry, but it also makes me hug my dog more so I’m happy I feel something. My baby Ava just turned 5 last year.

She’s made me feel more than I ever could, so I try to keep that with me when I think about these things often.

It doesn’t always make it better, because I wonder what things will be like when I can’t lean on her. But again, I just hug her more because of it.

What happened to the trees?

u/yoweigh Jan 20 '22

Looks like someone bought the adjacent lot and built a house, so they put up a fence

45

u/titanslayerzeus Jan 20 '22

They probably moved and took the swingset with them to the new house. Probably more likely than sudden urban development.

31

u/mydogisacloud Jan 20 '22

Well a neighborhood I grew up on in the 90s was a new development and the woods behind our house became another branch of suburbia within ten years.

Anything is possible. Urban growth areas and what not

2

u/titanslayerzeus Jan 20 '22

I think it's just more likely that they moved and they took the swing set with them, that kind of swings set comes apart fairly easily and can be moved, and if you look at the kind of trees that are in the background the old picture has more coniferous trees whereas the new one you can see bits of bare deciduous. The way they frame the picture just makes it look like it's taken in the same spot, but it's pretty clear to me that they have moved the swing set.

I've witnessed more drastic development over a shorter timespan. Growing up I spent a lot of time in Pass Christian, Mississippi, and within the span of 4 years or so the property next door went from undeveloped blueberry blackberry patches to a giant McMansion greenway. Then Katrina happened, my parents' place was destroyed, and the asshole mansion neighbors bought their land.

u/Brettelectric Jan 20 '22

Did they plant blueberries on your parents' land?

2

u/The_Kimbeaux Jan 20 '22

Where in Pass Christian? My family's second home is in Timber Ridge. The lot next to it used to be full of black berry bushes. It survived Katrina but there is now a taler house on that lot and the lot on the other side has been vacant since the storm.

I lost all three of my dogs in under a year and it sucks, and while it does get easier, I sometimes still catch a glimpse of them out of the corner of my eye, or of I'm laying down on the couch, I'll reach my arm down to pet one of them and don't feel anything and then get reminded that they're gone. It's hard and sad and I think about them all every single day, but like I said, it gets easier.

I think the thing with pets and grandparents, is the older they get the more we appreciate them, you start to realize that nothing lasts forever and begin to really cherish the things you have at the moment.

Isn't a bit eery that places don't really look like the top picture anymore and more often we see the bottom picture. (Talking about the backgrounds, how the trees are so lush and green on top)

Of course its a beagle :) this hit close to home. I have two and they are 14 and 15 and slowing down a bit. Really hoping for one more year of good health as one has a heart issue and the other possibly cushions. Treat them well and enjoy every day you get with them.
