My favorites are the corgis and Rosebud! After scrolling through the whole thread, some of you are repeating yourselves! Understandable, though!
"...and they called it puppy love..."

I would not bump this to say this, but since it's on the front page anyway,
today is the 2nd anniversary of my Max's death. It feels like yesterday and I miss him sooooo much. :(

from the September 17 issue of Science
"Burying Man's Best Friend, with Honor
Dogs are famously loyal to their masters, and many dog owners repay this loyalty by burying their pets carefully in backyards or in pet cemeteries. According to the first-ever systematic literature survey of dog burials, this practice may have roots deep in prehistory. In a talk greeted enthusiastically, graduate student Angela Perri of Durham University in the United Kingdom suggested that the practice might be correlated with the use of dogs as hunting partners when the world warmed in the post–Ice Age Holocene period about 10,000 years ago.
Researchers have debated just when dogs were domesticated, but most agree that it had happened by 14,000 years ago. Yet the earliest dog burials are dated only to about 9000 years ago, at least a millennium after the Holocene began. So far Perri has identified more than 400 sites that comprise a total of more than 1200 reported dog burials. To be sure that she counts only instances when dogs were given special treatment in their own right and weren't incidental to human internments, Perri is considering only "primary" burials, during which dogs were buried separately from humans or other animals. For example, at the famous 7000-year-old site of Skateholm in Sweden, hunter-gatherers dug a pit and arranged a dog in it on its side (see photo); there were several such burials at that site.
So far Perri has come up with 263 cases, all clustered in three geographic areas: the southern United States, northern Europe, and Japan. In each area, Perri said at the meeting, primary dog burials came to an end in prehistory once agriculture was adopted, even though farming appeared at different times in each region. Perri is now exploring the hypothesis that dogs gained special status as hunting partners when forests in these areas expanded in the Holocene warmth, and forest prey became available to their hunter-gatherer masters. But when hunter-gatherers turned to farming, the role of the dog might have been downgraded or shifted."
