Friendship isnāt about who is most like you, itās about who helps you be the best version of yourself. š§”
The day Lylle walked in as a foster, Gordie decided she was never leaving. They were total opposites on paperāserious and smiley, calm and chaoticābut they were best friends by choice from minute one.
Seeing this old photo of them snuggled together like this makes me realize how much Lylle must miss having her āother halfā to balance her out. The house may be different now, but that bond they formed the second they met? Thatās forever.
Who else has a pair of total opposites at home? Letās see some photos of your duos! š«¶š¼
Some friendships never leaveā¦ they just live in our hearts. š§”
Grief is strange. It hits differently for everyone. For us, losing Gordie has been a huge ache in our hearts; for Lylle, it was a world turned upside down. For almost nine years, she never knew a life without himāher partner in adventure, in naps, in comfort.
This video shows what we all miss: their closeness, the trust, the simple peace of being together. Watching her now, months later, finding her way back to little moments of joy, Iām reminded that grief isnāt just ours to bearāitās hers too.
They were inseparable, and in every memory, they remain so.

The End of an Era: Goodbye, Gordie š§”
How do you summarize almost 14 years of a āonce-in-a-lifetimeā soul?
While everyone thinks they have the best dog, I actually did. He was the OG of PointerProblems, the dog who started it all, and last week, we said goodbye to the very best.
Gordie was more than just a handsome face on the internet. Gordie was loving, loyal, sensitive, and had a heart that accepted everyone exactly as they were.
Our home is now filled with a heavy, echoing quietness. There is no one to greet us at the door with his favorite sloth or to remind me with a nudge that itās the end of the work day and the laptop needs to close. He was my best friend, my shadow, and the reason this community exists.
Gordie was the ultimate foster brother, welcoming over 30 dogs into our home with open paws. But his most important āhireā was Lylle. Heās the reason we kept herāhe picked her. I realize now that he knew exactly what he was doing; he knew she was what we needed, and he knew that someday, she would be the one here to comfort us when he no longer could.
Because of Gordie, we became breed advocates and were able to share brand deal success with rescues across the country. He truly provided us the ability to do some good in this world.
Gordie, thank you for the shenanigans, the lessons in unconditional love, and for letting me share your light with the world. You were my once-in-a-lifetime, and the emptiness youāve left behind will be felt forever. You werenāt just a dog; you were the reason for everything.
