I had a whippet named Speedy. He slept in my bed every night since I was about 11. He also got me through a really bad bout of anxiety. He was a good friend to me and I'm very thankful I had him. I'll miss you.
I'm so sorry for your loss aperson. I wasn't much of a dog person until I got mine, but they certainly are special.
You can always "ignore" aperson or even the tag "dogs", but I found no problem with him posting this. That's just me. But I think what's nice is that if you don't appreciate a certain users content you can easily prevent it from further making your feed. I posted about my dog dying. It's a hell of an experience to go through.
Actually, to the extent that you see #dog posts in the future, it is up to you.
I could not disagree more with this comment - but, for the sake of discussion... what is it exactly that you feel is inappropriate about this?
How dare this person use an app which advertises itself, to share a pic with you. That IS low indeed.
I'm sorry that you feel that way. What you feel is acceptable and what the site as a whole feel acceptable can be two very different things. From me personally, I was going through a hard time and I wanted to talk about it. I don't have a lot of good friends that I can talk to, so I turned to the internet. I don't mean to intrude on your feed, but as others have said, you're free to ignore me and/or the tags I used for this post. I do agree that some people 'karmawhore' their dead relatives or pets, but I was genuinely wanting to talk and share experiences. I'm not ashamed to admit that I was bawling my eyes out the night I made this post. I just wanted to talk and maybe share memories. It really helped me to talk to a few people online, and I don't see why that should be restricted because of one user.
-Charles de Gaulle I'm sorry to hear about your loss aperson, dogs can be wonderful companions and friends.The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs.
Hang in there pal. It's a big deal losing such an old friend. You have every right to be a "mess". Take care.
