Today was a sad day as we said goodbye to our special little dog. His health had gone into rapid decline over the last week and we made the decision to let him be at peace.
His life started badly, born in a puppy mill within the Everglades, in Florida. He was rejected by the owners because of undescended testicles, so couldn't be used for breeding and he lived in a crate with his father, malnourished, filthy and frightened.
He enriched our lives everyday day of the 11 years we had him. He was so loyal to me, a great watch dog but not a good guard dog.
My grief has turned into gratitude for the time we had together. I am immensely grateful for the lessons in unconditional love and devotion that he showed me. Thank you for choosing me.
You have left my life but you will never leave my heart. You were more than just a pet, you were a loving soul who we never will forget.
Rest in peace little boy.
