Schipperkes for some reason create spaces in our hearts like no other breed!

As I walk across your heart and find my place to stay, nearer to you I will be and will never ever go away.
If love could have kept you here, you would have lived forever.
Dogs are a chapter in our lives, we are their entire book.
Grief is love with nowhere to go.

He is beautiful. I heard long time ago that Schipperkes do not bark. True? I lost two loyal dogs this year; I understand.

Schipperke dogs bark almost nonstop at every noise! Very sharp. But so do border collies as well. Lol

We could be a mirror image of my little old lady. She passed at 19. They truly are a gift. My daughters never met her, and I bet they are tired of me talking about her. They now have a 7 yr old Pitt, but no dog was ever like my Mitzy.

OP is not a bot. are you that bored you had to examine their account to check the validity of this post? but most of all what a weird cruel question to ask under a sad memorial post. have some compassion, jesus. so very sorry for your loss OP

u/Sledgeplay 17d ago
It stinks but people repost memorial posts all the time to farm karma so I can see why they thought it might be true. Can you imagine how hard it is to see the pet you said goodbye to reposted again while you’re grieving? In the sharpei sub a gut wrenching memorial post was reposted multiple times in one year and the OP had to stop using the sub because it was too hard to see.
That said OP I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️🩹

Oh god, that’s horrifying. I had no idea.😢

u/Sledgeplay 17d ago
Yeah it’s surprisingly common. I just posted a foster I have looking for surgical vet recommendations and a week later she was all over Facebook with a bunch of lies attached. Someone trying to get money out of people I guess. I never thought about watermarking pictures but I need to with my foster at least.
What a world we live in 😢2

Larry looks like my Ripper. I know that day is coming.

u/jameshamer1967 17d ago
What a perfect name for a Schipp!

u/arteest01 16d ago
It does really fit him and believe it or not there’s another Schip here on Reddit named Ripper!
