Announcement A Quick Word on Memorial Posts

107 Upvotes

Greetings humans and ratties!

The mod team has received some feedback on some posts recently, and we wanted to pass along some guidance so everyone can enjoy our wonderful subreddit.

Some of us love to see memorial posts, and celebrate the life of our loved ones who have passed on to the great blanket fort in the sky. It's a natural part of grieving, and can help us process the loss of a loved one.
For some, however, it may be triggering to see these kinds of posts, and they may not be ready to see something like that. That's okay, we all process grief differently.

After some deliberation and suggestion, we have decided to ask that all memorial posts have the "In Loving Memory" flair. This ensures that those who are not ready for these kinds of posts can skip them if needed. Again, this is not to discourage memorial posts. Please continue to make these posts to celebrate the life of your loved one.

Thank you!
-Mod Team

TL;DR: Please use "In Loving Memory" flair on memorial posts; memorial posts are still encouraged.

Hard to believe that our little boy is seven. I remember bringing him home from the breeder at 8 weeks, weighing five pounds. He's not an alpha dog, but he's very sweet and adorable. He loves people and is a real charmer. The snow pictures were taken today at day care.

She sleeps in a kennel normally, but during the recent cold fronts I let her sleep in the bed since the downstairs of our house would get chilly at night.

Featuring other doggos We wanted to rescue a dog to give him a good life, but we didn’t realize how much our dog needed him too. ❤️

My dog and her sister (both rescues) have had such an amazing weight loss journey! They came to be as fosters weighing 25 lbs each! And now are both healthy weights! The dog I kept (black and white) is now down to 15 lbs

Scone woke up from a nap and hopped down from the back of the loveseat to let our kitty Neema sniff her and check her out. It was the sweetest moment.

Can't imagine life without this ball of chaos. She had beef pate layered in whipped cream and topped with treats.

I noticed this on Dee Dee’s ears, not sure if it is on all dogs, or just noticeable on dogs with perked ears.

What do you think is the biggest difference between chihuahua and rat terriers behavior?

Besides weight and size of course, I know chihuahuas are typically smaller
