I just lost my best friend yesterday. I'm still grieving and devastated over this. I adopted her in 2015 when she was a little over a year old from a local rescue group. The previous individual who adopted her had her returned since she was very shy and not very social. I felt so lucky to have her in my life. She was going to be 12 in January but she still acted like a puppy around me. I truly believe she could of had a couple more years in her as she was so full of life before this incident. I will never forget the little quirks that made her the best dog ever. She spins around in a circle right when you were about to feed her. Nibbles on toys and never aggressively destroyed one. I never slept alone and she was my weighted blanket. Never aggressive towards anyone. She even has a little cat she that she took care of. She doesn't bark out of aggression. On occasion she barks when we are about to go on a walk or a long "woooo" because I'm taking to long to feed her. Walks + patch of grass = barrel rolls Very obedient. Sits, shakes, lays down, and jumps on command. She got the stares from onlookers while walking as she had these "princess eyes" and a great smile. I'm writing this so I can immortalize her memory. I miss you and love you so much. I'm so sorry you had to leave me like this.
After 11.5 years of an amazing relationship, I had to say goodbye to my beautiful girl. She was by far the best one I had. Such a calm, steady presence, and so full of love! This one hurts.
I found Mamá when I was 19. I’m now 39! She’s been with me for 20 years!! She was probably 8 months to a year when I found her. I’m so hurt! I can’t stop crying! I have two toddlers and don’t want them to see me crying hysterically so I do it in private. I just pray that she didn’t suffer one second! My princess passed away at home surrounded by everyone who loved her. She was the best cat ever! Just wanted you guys to see how beautiful and amazing she was! I love her so much and hope she brings a smile to you guys!
May she rest in peace. She was an ambassador to her breed. She worked her way into the hearts of many who were prejudiced against rottweilers - especially when we would walk the kids to school in the mornings. The kids would swarm her and she would just calmly bask in the adoration and pets. The parents would eventually come up and ask me questions about her - showing genuine interest in the breed after observing her loving and calm temperament. She was only a little over a year and a half old when she passed, not even fully out of her puppy years. She had a whole life ahead of her, but I don't regret a moment of it. She helped raise our children, and she saved me from my mental struggles that have been accumulated throughout my military career. You'll be loved and missed, Izzy, and I know there's a special place set aside for you
Bella filled our home with steady joy for ten years. She woke the mornings with bright eyes and settled the nights with a soft sigh at my feet. She learned our rhythms and somehow always knew what I needed whether a nudge toward the door for fresh air or a quiet moment on the rug in a square of sun. Thank you for the calm you brought and the laughter you sparked. I will remember the small rituals most. The gentle lean that said I am here. The way she checked every tree on our walks as if visiting old friends. Beach days with salt on her whiskers and fall leaves caught in her fur. On hard days she made the world manageable with a nose pressed to my palm. On good days she made them better just by being herself. Goodbye for now sweet girl. You taught patience, presence, and simple happiness in a way words can only try to explain. Rest easy faithful friend. I will carry you in the way I move through the day and in the space I keep on the rug where the light still finds the floor. Forever loved and never forgotten.
It was incredible how much joy you brought into my life; I remember it as if it were yesterday, even though it has been over 17 years now. I drove 5 hours to pick up a little 8-week-old puppy, trying to figure it all out, scared to take you outside around other dogs until you had all your vaccinations. So many sleepless nights potty training you, but you picked it so quickly; you were so smart. You grew so fast and brought so much happiness into my life, with your playfulness, growling, and wagging your tail all the time, always begging for food as if you were starving. And when you gave me that look, I would always concede. You were my little girl, even though you weighed over 90 lbs, and my longest relationship, still to this day. You always brought me unconditional love, making the bad days drift away and the good days great. The simple pleasure of just hanging out, taking you for walks, sitting and enjoying the sun - you made life simple. Always wanting to be around me made me feel whole. I had 10 amazing years with you, but it was still never enough; I was also never able to fully say goodbye, and it broke me. I will always love you, you will always be with me in my heart, and I know one day I will see you again. I miss you still.
