Charlie

I rescued Charlie on April 21, 2016. I was walking through the shelter, dogs were barking and going crazy. I got to his kennel, and we just stared at each other while he wagged his tail at me. I knew instantly that he’d be my best friend forever. We were bonded from the start.

For 10 years, he was my everything. Every aspect of my life revolved around him. I wanted to make sure he felt loved and happy every single day.

There were so many days that he was the only source of happiness for me. So many days that the only reason I smiled or got out of bed, was him.

He was the sweetest, best dog I could’ve ever asked for. All he wanted was to snuggle and be loved. Well, and eat snacks.

I never had pets growing up. He was my first. He was my soulmate.

When he was diagnosed with cancer, my world stopped. He seemed so happy and so healthy. I truly thought I had so much time left with him. I would’ve never guessed that he’d be gone in 4 weeks.

Charlie was a sweet, loving, happy boy all the way until the end. Despite his pain and discomfort, despite the cancer ripping through his body…he just wanted love.

Being able to hold my baby in my arms as he took his last breath is something I’ll always cherish. Letting him go was the hardest decision I’ve made in my entire life, but I knew I had to take his pain away from him…even if that meant me being in the worst pain I’ve ever felt.

Thank you, Kona’s Loving Paws, for such a caring and compassionate end of life service for the love of my life.
