March 1, 2018, I walked into the SPCA because someone told me there was a female Boston that needed to be fostered. I was hesitant. I wanted a puppy and that special bond you grow from the beginning.
Little did I know I was about to meet my soul dog.
I remember seeing you terrified on that cold concrete floor. When they finally brought you to me, you crawled straight into my lap and looked at me with those eyes. In that moment I made you a promise: no more bad days.
We found each other broken and carrying our own trauma, but somehow we had a contract to live out together. I nurtured you back to health and showed you safety, protection, and unconditional love.
And you loved me fiercely.
You always chose me. No matter who else was around, it was always me.
You hated most dogs and were a feisty bitch on a leash, but with time you let a few in. We were the same in that way, only letting the right ones in.
You loved coming to work with me. Running through the hallways knowing exactly where the office was. You sat in on so many healing sessions and brought so much joy to the community.
You are forever the holistic bitch.
A true warrior. The amount of things thrown your way and your will to keep beating the odds was your promise to me. I did everything I could for you and I would do it all again.
Mirvat was such a special soul in your life. She loved you deeply and helped keep you with us longer than anyone expected. I’m so grateful you let her love you and that you loved her back.
I know you waited until I found the love of my life just to make sure I would be okay. I’m grateful he got to love you too, even if it was only for a short chapter.
Eight years will never feel like enough. But I know you will find me in every lifetime.
Your body is failing you now even though your mind is still sharp. Today I have to make the hardest decision of my life.
It’s time for you to meet Monty at the rainbow bridge.
He was my king.
You are my forever queen.
The price of love is grief, and I would choose you every single time.
I love you today, forever, and in every lifetime. You will always be my best friend. 💔
