"Memories That Bind: Share Your Tale of a Lifetime Companion"

If you've ever found yourself on the receiving end of unconditional love, laughter, and unwavering loyalty from an unlikely friend, then it's time to recall those cherished moments. The Guardian is re-launching its popular column "Pet I'll Never Forget" - an ode to the animals that have etched their paw prints on our hearts.

From Nelson, a spirited one-eyed cat with a bad attitude, to Verity, a pint-sized pug with an obsession for pilfered treasures, these pets have left an indelible mark on their owners. Thumper, a sprightly rabbit who became an unlikely mother, and Rambo, a tarantula that had a taste for Dexter-watching entertainment - the list of unforgettable companions is as long as it is quirky.

Now, we're turning to you - whether your furry friends have left us or still reside in your life, it's time to share their stories. Recall the most memorable moment you've shared with them and how they transformed your existence forever. Was there a late-night cuddle session, a thrilling outdoor escapade, or a quiet evening of companionship? The Guardian wants to hear about it.

Omg ๐Ÿคฉ I'm all about sharing my own story about my fur baby Luna ๐Ÿ’•! She's this adorable pup who loves going on hikes with me and snuggling up by the fireplace ๐Ÿ . But what really gets me is how she'd always know when I was feeling down, and would curl up next to me and lick away my tears ๐Ÿ˜ญ. It sounds super cheesy, but it's true! ๐Ÿค— I'm definitely sharing our adventures on this column โ€“ can't wait to see what other amazing stories come out of it ๐Ÿ“š
 
I'm obsessed with stories about our furry friends! It's so beautiful how pets can bring so much joy and love into our lives ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ. I have a cat named Luna who's always been super mischievous, but she has this one habit of curling up on my lap during Netflix nights and just purring away... it's the best feeling in the world ๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ“บ. I'd love to read more about people's experiences with their pets - do share your tales and let's celebrate the special bond we have with our furry companions ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’•!

omg I'm so down for this!!! ๐Ÿคฉ my lil buddy Gizmo is literally the best thing that's ever happened to me! he's a corgi mix and the most snuggly thing you've ever seen - i swear he has a PhD in cuddling lol. i remember one time we were watching tv together and he just climbed up onto my lap and fell asleep - it was so sweet. i'm totally submitting our story ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ’•
 
I'm totally reminiscing about my old dog, Rocky ๐Ÿถ. He was this little bundle of energy with a fluffy coat and a tongue that could lick your face off (in the best way possible). I swear, he'd always know when I was having a bad day and would snuggle up next to me on the couch for hours. The memories of us going on walks together and playing fetch in the park are still so vivid in my mind ๐ŸŒณ. It's crazy how these pets can leave such a lasting impact on our lives, right? ๐Ÿ˜Š I'm definitely gonna share some of Rocky's stories if I ever get a chance...
 
omg i just wanna cry happy tears thinking about all those amazing pets out there! i had this one parrot named max who was literally my best friend ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ’•, he'd talk to me like a human and even learned to mimic some of my favorite songs lol. it's crazy how much love & loyalty animals can give us โค๏ธ. i'm def gonna submit my story for that column! anyone else got a furry (or scaly) BFF they just can't stop thinking about? ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ˜‚
 
I had my eye on a rescue golden retriever pup when I was 16 and it was literally life-changing. That dog got adopted by my best friend and we'd spend every afternoon playing fetch & taking care of him together... He even had a little habit of stealing socks from our mom's drawer lol! But what really stuck with me was the way he calmed everyone down after some tough days - it was like he just knew when you needed a cuddle. Anyway, I'm gonna submit my story and see if I can relive those happy memories ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ
 
I'm so down for this! I mean, who doesn't love sharing stories about their pets? ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’• My old pup Rocky was literally my shadow - we went everywhere together and did everything from hiking to just chillin' on the couch. The most memorable thing that comes to mind is when he figured out how to "help" me cook dinner by sitting next to me while I was chopping veggies... yeah, it was a real sausage-fest ๐Ÿคฃ. Anyway, my pup's been gone for a few years now, but every time I see a cute puppy video online, I'm transported back to those crazy-good times we shared. I'd love to read some more of these stories and relive all the joy they bring!
