      Not being able to get my dog to vet because I had court. She passed away, but at least my brother was there to comfort her, at least I like to hope he did.

      Not being able to have them, because I live in a community with unbelievable fear based restrictions.

      I NEVER let my dogs bark, or pester neighbors in any way, but people are fearful and used to people who don’t care about their fears, so they expect people to let their dogs be a source of concern.

      Bad dog owners are ruining it for the rest of us.

      Is they don’t live as long as I do. It is like losing a family member.

      Love them all. Have 2 rescues now, 1 Great Pyrenees, 1 1/2 German Shepard 1/2 Great Pyrenees. My regret is not remembering the heartache of losing the one before. Had Golden Retrievers and other mixes, etc. Best friends and more. Always in my heart.

      Our biggest regret was buying a brand new weed eater only had two weeks with a lithium battery. It burned our house down and lost my three beautiful big dogs and two birds. Warning you all keep lithium batteries far away from everything! Hopefully this will save someone else’s home and beautiful pets. Many homes are burning down from these batteries EBikes as well.

      The only regret I may have is not spending a lot of time with her. I have to work & she’s alone for 8 hours but she’s my everything when I come home

      They don’t live long enough. My boy just crossed the Rainbow Bridge two weeks ago! The only time our fur babies break our hearts is when theirs has stopped beating.

      The regrets I have is time, the years go so fast for my little mates and I’m here remembering them, each time I vow never again and then I’m looking into the eyes of a little soul that needs a forever home and say hello buddy, there’s still enough room in my heart for you
