Understanding the circle of life doesn’t make this any easier. I love you dearly. You’ve been our baby, our friend, and our protector for so long. Although you were an 85 pounds of muscle who looked fierce, you were actually a baby afraid of birds and tiny mice.
I will miss you immensely. You filled our lives with love, and I hope we gave you the same in return. It breaks my heart to see you go, but I find comfort in knowing you’re free now. We’ve been so fortunate to have you for this long. I look forward to seeing you in heaven, my sweet boy. I wish I could have done more to keep you safe.
Like everything in life, I thought we had more time together.
I will cherish the memories of you sleeping by my side, the noise you made that always urged me to wake up for our morning walks, the joy in your tail wagging when I came home each evening, and the endless playtime outdoors. Your energy was simply boundless.
Though it hurts deeply right now, I feel so grateful that you were part of our lives. Your sweetness endeared you to everyone, and so many friends came by to see you because they heard you were sick. Many of them welcomed dogs into their homes because of the incredible companion you were. You truly had a gentle soul.
I hope your pain is gone. Rest peacefully, dear friend, until we meet again my good boy.
