What a beautifully expressed tribute to Doug. Like you we always had dogs (and cats) in abundance at home, and I am now in a no-pet rental. And I am always the one who gravitates to other people's dogs in social situations or on my travels. I suffer from chronic depression and anxiety, and being without a dog or cat feels so unnatural to me. I support the Soi Dog foundation and hope to one day rehome one of their rescues. Wishing you and your wife and Doug many more years of joyous woofs and tailwags.
Oh this is the first time I have read Doug's origin story, having seen his progress from the early days via The Place That Shall Not Be Mentioned and more recently on Bluesky. His face makes me smile every time you post a picture. I will even admit to having saved a couple on my phone and I occasionally come across them when searching for stuff. They always cheer me up. I am so glad you all found each other.
I am definitely crying after reading this. I’m so glad Doug managed to find you both. He is indeed a good boy. Dogs are the bloody best ❤️ gonna give mine a hug now even though he will give me massive side eye and sighs
