Fyi the Grand Hotel has the most insane ceramic Pekingese collection I've ever seen. And apparently Ripley absolutely adores horses? Like a true deep fascination love and patience when interacting with all horses. She was in heaven. This might be her favorite trip yet!

WARNING Don't try this at home! Horses can be really unpredictable, letting Ripley get this close was done over like 20 minutes of watching them interact distantly through the fence and petting the horse and judging how friendly and chill it was, and even then it was probably a risky move. But I just couldn't resist...

This is Sir Olivier Laurence. We said goodbye about a week ago at about 16 years of age. I know it was the right thing, but I’m in that “what more could I have done to buy more time” stage.

I adopted him in 2020. In our nearly six years together, we were thick as thieves. I miss him terribly.

On his instagram, we share little poems. Here is the goodbye one we shared for him:

Thank You, Friends. I Had A Wonderful Time.

Someday soon you’ll pack up my bed,
remove the gate atop the stairs.
Someday soon the vacuum may claim
the last bit of my hair.

But even when things are tidied,
I hope you always find.
The little bits of love
I sought to leave behind.

Even if you can’t hear little clicking
as I shuffle across the floor,
I hope you carry thoughts of me
with you forevermore.

In every steak you order,
should my memory occur,
I hope you keep finding the joy we shared,
like a pesky bit of fur.

A bond like ours is rare and special,
and it can always last.
You can carry my love with you,
holding present what may have passed.

We shared so much together,
and though it could never be enough,
we’ll still always have each other,
forever love, forever fluff.

do you have to carry your pekes on walks sometimes or do they love them? because mine is and always was extremelyyy slow and sometimes just refuses to go further, she sits or lays down and wants to be carried back 😂 it’s not just her age and weather because she did it when she was younger and when it’s cold as well, i guess pekes get tired very easily with their short paws.

She might be mixed but I'm suspecting she is mostly pekingese. She was found in a park and rehomed. She is almost 2 years old.

She is 5 months old and just got all her adult teeth. The last month or so her little under teeth are always showing. She eats , breaths, plays and all just fine. Clear health from the vet as well. Is she gonna stay like that? The last photo is of her parents. The cream one is the daddy and she obviously does look more like her mother. Her adult coat and the puppy fluff is changing and kinda ridiculous right now. My mop/ show coat dream is dead haha. I wonder how will she mature ? Maybe there is some grandparents genes in there. Also i have hoped she will be on the smaller side. Her mommy is 3,4 kg her pap is a big boy at almost 6 kg . She is the smallest(probably the runt) of the litter. She was 1.200 at around 2 months old and 2 kg at 5 and a little. Her biggest sister is 3 kg right now. The growing is mostly in her becoming kinda funny long and her chest has grown as well but not like her sister wich was much sturdier and heavier even at 3 months old. What do you guys think ? How much does your peke weights ?

I miss him just as much as I did that day in April. This morning, I held Niko and just cried.
Missing King hasn’t gotten easier. It just hurts a little less than it did before.

There are days now when 5 p.m. rolls around and I don’t immediately think, It’s time to give Kingers his meds. Instead, it’s time to feed Niko. Slowly, these new little routines have started taking the place of the ones I had with King for so many years. And sometimes that realization hits me harder than I expect.

I wear a necklace with King’s face on it every single day. Sometimes I catch myself holding it, kissing it, and telling him how much I love him. I don’t think there will ever be a day when I stop finding little ways to talk to him.
In six days, it will already be a month since Taylor and I met Niko for the first time.

I keep thinking about the day before my birthday and how hard I cried. It was going to be my first birthday without King in 15 years, and I remember telling Taylor how utterly defeated I felt.

Little did I know that Niko was about to come into my life.
He hasn’t replaced King. No one ever could. But he has helped me heal in a way I desperately needed. He’s given me somewhere to put all of that love that suddenly had nowhere to go.

And I truly believe King had something to do with bringing him to me. I think somehow he knew
just how badly I needed Niko.

King left a hole in my heart that will always belong to him, but Niko has been slowly mending the pieces back together with golden seams. And somehow, that feels like one last gift from my best boy. 🥺🤍

This little boy just got neutered a week ago so i had to give him a haircut myself.
Anyways this little rascal stole my glasses and ran off with them under the bed of course i get a picture

Mei Lin was out hard last night

I've kept his full coat forever but he keeps having skin issues, so off it goes.

She managed to eat half of this tomato before I realized what she was doing
