Today, Outlaw's last full day alive, he perfectly performed the rare folded tongue tongue-out maneuver. (Don't be misled by my light tone. I'm already in tears that he'll soon be gone.) #dogsoftwitter #Dog @dogandpuplovers @dogcelebration @ok32650586

I ask for little from life, but I would like another day of Outlaw next to me on the sofa, if only he could live again. Or an entire lifetime. #dogsoftwitter #dogslife @dogandpuplovers @dogcelebration @ok32650586 @DogHeavenTweets @puppiesDoglover

A month ago to the moment, 8:49 a.m., June 6. The vet arrived a few minutes later, and soon after Outlaw was gone. Kissing his sweet face is high on the list of all I miss. #Dog #dogsoftwitter @dogcelebration @dogandpuplovers @ok32650586 @DogsofInstagram

The best portrait I've ever shot of Outlaw, from this day in 2019. I shot 23 frames of him looking out the front door at mom on her birthday. This was the last and best. #dogs #dogsoftwitter @dogandpuplovers @dogcelebration @ok32650586 @mydogiscutest

Jill put together this arrangement for out front, where we walked each morning with our beloved pup, Outlaw. They were inseparable. Her grief surpasses mine. #dogsoftwitter #dogs @dogcelebration @dogandpuplovers @ok32650586

A previously unposted photo of Outlaw, from two years ago. Deep inside, I seem to hope he'll be immortal if I take thousands of photos of him. #dogsoftwitter #dogs @dogcelebration @dogandpuplovers @ok32650586 @bigfluffydogs @DogsofInstagram

Outlaw a year ago and two years ago today. For newcomers, I post these to grieve his death. I'll get another rescue someday, not yet. Some viewers seemed upset about photos of pups now gone. #Dog #dogsoftwitter @dogandpuplovers @dogcelebration @ok32650586

I know who would love this weather if he was still alive. Outlaw in our front yard, two years ago today. #Dog #DogsofTwittter @dogcelebration @dogandpuplovers @ok32650586 @TweeetsOfDogs @DogHeavenTweets

Many mornings, I lie on the floor next to Outlaw's bed, lift his head onto my arm, and lightly rub his ears until he's fully awake. I love those minutes, and him. #dogsoftwitter #Dog @dogcelebration @dogandpuplovers @ok32650586 @bigfluffydogs

Outlaw and I have had an exhausting week. "You must go on. I can't go on. I'll go on," as Samuel Beckett wrote. For now, we go on. #dogsoftwitter #dogs @dogandpuplovers @dogcelebration @ok32650586 @bigfluffydogs @DogsofInstagram

When he was alive, Outlaw loved looking out the front door window. I loved the soft northern light -- and him, of course. September 2020 photos. No filters, edits. #Dog #dogs @dogandpuplovers @dogcelebration @ok32650586 @puppiesDoglover @TweeetsOfDogs

Outlaw loved ice cream. The first two photos are from a three-years-ago Facebook memory, the others are from his last two nights alive. My heart still aches. #Dog #dogsoftwitter @dogandpuplovers @dogcelebration @ok32650586 @DogsofInstagram @bigfluffydogs

During the midday walk, I bumped into our neighbor Mouse, who gazed up at me with what I choose to interpret as an adoring look. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. #dogsoftwitter #dogs @dogandpuplovers @dogcelebration @ok32650586

When my back was turned, Outlaw went down the seven carpeted steps to the door too fast and tumbled. I set him up with his favorite pillow. He's better now, but he scares me when that happens. #Dog #dogs @dogcelebration @dogandpuplovers @ok32650586

Outlaw a year ago today, master of all the snow he could see, and walking down the driveway with mom, his favorite person. We miss him. #DogsofTwittter #dogs @dogcelebration @dogandpuplovers @ok32650586 @DogsofInstagram

This looks like another sleep photo, but to me it's a blissful, too brief interlude. Outlaw has been very restless, pacing most of each day, out a lot each night. I wish I could ease his discomfort. #dogsoftwitter @dogandpuplovers @dogcelebration @ok32650586

After a restless, sleepless night in sudden, summer-like heat, Outlaw made it through the morning 4/10s-mile walk. So here's a bonus tongue-out glam photo. #dogs #dogsoftwitter @dogandpuplovers @dogcelebration @ok32650586 @bigfluffydogs @DogsofInstagram

I haven't posted a tongue out photo for a while. This is from June 5, the day before Outlaw died. I mourn anew, remembering those final, heart-in-your-throat days. #Dog #dogsoftwitter @dogcelebration @dogandpuplovers @ok32650586

"It's so hot that even lying down is exhausting," Outlaw says. (92F outside at the moment) #Dog #summer @dogandpuplovers @dogcelebration @ok32650586 @bigfluffydogs @DogsofInstagram

Outlaw's wisdom from the great beyond: "When it's 93 degrees outside, eating ice cream is a necessity, not a treat." Outlaw ??-June 6, 2022 #Dog #dogsoftwitter @dogcelebration @dogandpuplovers @ok32650586 @DogsofInstagram

Portraits of Outlaw a year ago today, almost to the minute. He was going through a rough time with his health and I worried he wouldn't live out the year. I'm thrilled he's still with us. #Dog #dogsoftwitter @dogandpuplovers @dogcelebration @ok32650586

Outlaw looks back after saying a final goodbye to Honey, one of his next-door dog pals. Honey, who's old, will have her last at-home vet visit today, and will be with us no more. Our neighbors are devasted. #Dog @dogcelebration @dogandpuplovers @ok32650586

If we pay close enough attention, our dogs teach us how to live. I have been Outlaw's student for 6 1/2 years. #Dog #dogs @dogcelebration @dogandpuplovers @ok32650586 @bigfluffydogs @DogsofInstagram

Outlaw nearly a year ago, stopping to smell the flowers. We're blessed that he's here all these months later, still teaching us how to be kind and loving. #dogsoftwitter #Dog @dogandpuplovers @dogcelebration @ok32650586 @bigfluffydogs @DogsofInstagram
