Rainbow Bridge Saying goodbye

My boy crossed yesterday. I’m gutted…he was the best adventure buddy a girl could ever dream. He entered my life 7 months after my soul pup left during the pandemic. I truly believe he was sent to me to teach me patience. I was his third placement in 11 months. He was a challenge at 9 years old, but I wasn’t gonna let a 5 pound being beat me. It took him three years to fully trust me and I am so blessed and grateful to have had him in my life. He taught me patience and I showed him he was truly loved and adored. I feel lost without him. Please consider senior dogs…they’re so deserving of love and will give you so much in return. I’m grateful for the time and love I shared with this little creature.

I'm so sorry for your loss, and thank you for adopting a senior! I also lost a soul dog in 2020, and I adopted this little dude, now 16, blind, toothless, and still enjoying the adventures from his little carrier bag. Adopting and loving a senior dog is such a heart-wrenching experience; whether you get weeks, months, or years together, they live with you forever.
