So sorry to hear about your little guy - it's so tough when we lose one of our pets. He's running with a lot of friends now though and will always be with you in your heart. Give Tanner a hug for us!
Zach's mom
The pug that lived here before me, Stubby, went to the Bridge in January. He read your blog every day for years and he loved it. It cheered him up when he had the sickies, keeping him laughing all the time. Thank you for sharing Joe. He was awesome and will never be forgotten.
Tiffy
Oh no, I'm sooo very sorry! I know your pain as we just lost our Kona a few weeks ago.
There will be so many of his friends to meet him at the bridge. We know he is in good hands now and can be at peace.
Godspeed Joe! You were one of a kind!
Holly & Khady
Lost for words... we are so sorry for your loss. Joey (and Tanner too) had brought so much laughter into our lives and we always look forward to reading your blog. Most of all, we will always treasure the Stains Award from the Mr Stains himself...
Run free, dearest Joey.. till we meet again. For now, run free, eat the limitless supply of your fav cheeseburger and leave your stain at the Rainbow Bridge!!
(((hugs)))
Joe Stains was my Hero and I have loved him since the first blog I have read about him.

We are so very sorry to read about the loss of your beautiful pup Joe Stains. We read about his loss on Khyra's blog and are very saddened by the news. We unfortunately never had the pleasure of knowing Joe Stains, but we would come across his Comments once in a while and woof and laugh at his funny remarks. Such a great pup!
My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. My Joe rest in peace and thrive over the Rainbow Bridge!

We are sorry to hear of your loss of your beloved Joe. We never had the opportunity to meet him, but Mango says he was one heck of a dude. {{HUGS}} Sniffs, The HoundDogs
Thank you for sharing Joe with us - He's outlook on life always gave us pause to stop and say WTF and wonder what planet Tanner escaped from.
He had the best here with us so we know that he will be rockin' heaven and rollin' Joe's way....
We have you tight in our thoughts and prayers and wish love didn't have to hurt so much...
XXoooXXoooXxooooo
So sorry for your loss.
Joe was one lucky dog.
We are so sorry for Joe's passing. But we are so happy to have met one of the greatest dogs ever.
Tubey, etc.
To Joey's Parents and Tanner,
I was so sorry to hear that Joey had to say goodbye. Words cannot express how much pleasure reading his blog posts and tweets has given me over the years. Joey was clearly one helluva dog and I'm sure that I'm not the only one who grew very fond of him from afar. Thank you for allowing us peek into Joey's world. I will keep all of you in my thoughts.
Ann
I'm so damn sorry to hear this. He was amazing and I am going to miss his anecdotes and your stories about him so much.
Joe Stains was a dog blog legend and will be missed. It is so very tough to loose such a good chum. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Essex & Dog Dad
The OP Pack sent us. We are sorry for your loss.

Joey will be always in my heart!
Thanks for sharing him with us.

We're not gonna get all leaky and stuff here, cause, ummm, well, we don't want Tanner. We sure enjoyed being your friend, and the Steeler games are just not gonna be the same without you Joe. Hope Tanner keeps us filled in on what's going on at your house. Especially if he gets a roommate, cause that's gonna be funny.
Run free Joey.
your pals, Morgan & Maisie
We just learned of Joe's passing from Mango. We're so very sorry for your loss. Hugs to Tanner and the pawrents, who we know are missing Joe terribly. Sounds like Joe had a full and joyful life with you, and that's a blessing for him and for you.

I'm so sorry, my heart is broken for you all. I've loved reading about Joey and Tanner since I found them on Boston_Buddies years ago, and I always shared their adventures with my Charlie, who loved them too. Joey is truly a friend to all Boston and Boston lovers, and he will be missed terribly. I know he's making lots of stains and cheering on those Yankees from heaven. Keep celebrating Joey!!!
To Joey's Mom, Dad and Tanner-I am so sorry to read about your loss. I've read many of Joey's blogs over the years and was caught chuckling out loud many times! When you posted the picture of Joey walking with his Hero on his 12th birthday all I could think of was the song (this will cause the leaky eye) "You'll Never Walk Alone". Thank you Joey's Mom, your time spent keeping us up to date with the boys antics was not unnoticed. Thank you for sharing.
Barb and bt Buster
I am so sorry to hear about Joe Stains. I have never posted a comment before, but I followed your blog closely for several years, and always really enjoyed reading about the adventures of Joe and Doofus! I also have a Boston Terrier (his name is Tomo) who is now six. I love Tomo so much, and I am so sad for your loss. I hope that Tanner and your family are doing well. Yours, Oogy99
I've never commented before but I've read Joe's blog faithfully for a long time. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I haven't been on in a long time and I just wanted to send Hugs to you all.
"I am blowing you a kiss till next time!"

We will miss you. BBs
I just read about Joey's passing on The Mango & Dexter's bloggy. i am so sorry. i have read this blog every time you have put up a new post since I started blogging just a few years ago and you had me hooked from the first bloggy entry i read of yours. every time i see anything "Steelers" related or that guy with all the hair on the Steelers team i think of Joey.
~ The Mommy of Coco The Princess, Truffle & Lady Godiva
We are so sorry to hear of your loss, but rejoice with you on the adoption of your new brother. Joe will never be forgotten!
Love,

And their mom Valerie
Joe,
I hoped you enjoyed writing your blog as much as we liked reading it.
Buster
I can't get over the shock that you have gone Joe!
It feels like just like a few weeks ago you shook my paws for the first time to welcome me to blogville and since then, you were my role model. You had the cool attitude that I wish I had ( to impress all ladies)
I still remembered the day you delivered Christmas candy to me, an unknown pup in Texas, I have still hidden that candy from my Pug naughty brothers.
Dear Joe, I love you and I'll never forget you.
I'll meet you again Joe!
Just now reading this--so many people will miss JOE!!! Thanks for letting others love Joe through this blog.
BTs forever!
Love, Lola the BT & her mom Jessy
