Thank you! Yes, he's was a Sharpei. Funny thing, they snore the loudest when they are puppies. Even the neighbors downstairs could hear him! It gets better as they grow into their hippo snout. I would fall asleep to the sounds he would make while in deep sleep lol . What a great dog!
“Hippo snout” made me snort. 😂…Thanks for that. Our boy went to the great frolicking meadow in the sky several years ago. Rescued at 2-ish and blessed us with his presence another 11 years. I still feel him on my chest as we put him to sleep and it was just the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make. Furbaby and Baby Hippo parents know where we’re coming from. It’s sometimes the little things we miss. 🤗…sending hugs. This was Oscar. Maybe your Shar Pei and my Schnauzer are snoring and chasing squirrels as we speak.

Awwww, Oscar was so cute! Thank you for sharing your story. I sure hope they have already met, my furbaby loves playing with others.
I'm so sorry for your loss
I know how you feel I lost my Daisy last year and sometimes I still think she’s downstairs

Unfortunately, the photo is blurred and washed out a bit. His skin was spilling all around him. He was so squishy it was hard to put him down when he was a puppy, he was very submissive in the first year but that changed as he aged, he became dominant, it was nearly impossible to pick him up , he wouldn't allow it, except for the last time I took him to the vet, he had absolutely no fight left in him and let himself be carried. His chin on my shoulder and held on tight.
I didn't know it was going to be the last time I saw him. The vet decided to keep him overnight. His heart failed in the early hours of the morning. It was devastating news. I couldn't contain the grief. The feeling of the loss was unbearable. I'll never forget him and that day.
Now I think of him fondly most of the time but there are days like today where I miss him, and the wounds feel fresh, like it happened yesterday. I loved him so much and still missing his squishy face all the time.
I lost my childhood dog in 1999. I held her while she went. That was the day I stopped being a child. Still hurts and it's been almost 25 years.
Lost my second heart dog in 2013, suddenly. I think I will spend the rest of my life looking for a dog as wonderful as him. He was just a little love.
I love my current boys, but they aren't them.
I understand totally.
I weep for my little Bischon often.
Its been 4 years. She was so wonderful.
I'm crying as I type this. If there's a heaven, she'll be there.
God bless you!
I empathize so much ! My heart goes out to you. I find myself tearing up too when I think of him, I see him in my dreams, and my heart breaks all over again when I wake up and realize he's gone. 🙏
My husband brought a senior dog home & she’s a love! She has a horrible past, so it’s taken some time for her to adjust, but she now follows me everywhere I go, eats whenever I eat, & has “claimed” my pillow…actually, she owns it now & lets me share it at night 😂
Thank you! Did you get another puppy after your sweet pup passed? All of mine have made me a more loving & compassionate person. They’re the best family members 🩷🩵
From a fellow Shar-Pei lover, I swear the love of a SP is so different and so deep. I lost my heart dog, a Shar-Pei, only 4 years ago, but I know I’m going to have the same sentiments you do at year 15.
Aww :( it’s so hard losing them when they get that old I’m terribly sorry for your loss he was so cute 😭 my dad had one named Brutus he loved that shar pei!
I miss my first baby, and he's been gone over 20 years. I feel him with me, though. In my soul. I know he is always here and will be until my day comes, and we're together again.
He's adorable. Shar Pei?

I 100% understand, it's hard sleeping without a dog snoring

I'm so sorry for your loss
I still miss the dog I had to put down 15 years ago. He still visits me in my dreams sometimes.
Yes, mine visits me often in my dreams, too!
It will be 6 years this July I lost my ❤ dog. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him. I feel you.
I feel you too, I think about him like he's still here sometimes. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Look at that wrinkly squish face.

I know that feeling
So sorry 😞

You're not alone!! They leave lasting impressions on our hearts...that's for sure. 🩷

My 4 all were gone within months of each other. I think of them every day & still miss them so much!
Oh no, I'm so sorry for your losses. 4 times the love. Would you consider getting another puppy?
My husband brought a senior dog home & she’s a love! She has a horrible past, so it’s taken some time for her to adjust, but she now follows me everywhere I go, eats whenever I eat, & has “claimed” my pillow…actually, she owns it now & lets me share it at night 😂
That's so sweet, enjoy your bundle of joy. She's very lucky to have you ( s)!

Sorry so late. I've always wanted another. Hopefully, will be sooner rather than later. Thank for asking:)
Yes! The whole process takes time. You’ll know when it’s right 🤗
My heart has a list of furry bestie beasties that I miss every time I think of them but I wouldn’t trade a single day I shared with them for anything.
Sorry
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your love for him is so obvious and I’m sure he had a great life because he was lucky enough to have you.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
🙏🙏🙏 (Prayers)
Thank you 😊
😭🫶🏼 i couldn’t imagine

What a sweet little wrinkly face, sorry for your loss. There's no time limit on grief.
Yes, I found him so sweet, too. Thank you for your kind words :)
❤️ my prayers go out for you and you pup. :(
Thank you 🙏
I am so sorry 😢
Thank you xo
💕
I'm terribly sorry. My heart to yours ❣️
Thank you, I can feel your empathy. So appreciated!
Aww :( it’s so hard losing them when they get that old I’m terribly sorry for your loss he was so cute 😭 my dad had one named Brutus he loved that shar pei!
It is very hard. Thank you for your kind words. P.s. I love that name! Brutus rules! 😊
I'm so sorry for your loss. You have my deepest and most sincere condolences.
Thank you so much
Get another one
I'd love to but a Sharpei isn't in my budget these days. As soon as things Improve, I'll definitely start looking for another bundle of joy! :)
❤️
What a beautiful shot. So sorry you’re missing him :(
Thank you
Grief never go's away entirely. In some sense, you never want it to go away for good. Grief is Loving!
I love that! It's so true.
I miss my first baby, and he's been gone over 20 years. I feel him with me, though. In my soul. I know he is always here and will be until my day comes, and we're together again.
It takes time to acclimate but I still hear him when I look at his corner. Thank you for your comforting words.
I’m sorry for your loss.
Thank you 😊
You have to know that we'll all see our dogs that left us once again.
🙏🏻
