❤️ In Memory of Erik ❤️
Last week we said goodbye to handsome little Erik. I have been working with Erik and his lovely owners for a few months, and he was one of those dogs that absolutely left an impression. Fun, bouncy, and eager to learn, we had been working on helping Erik with his confidence on walks and teaching him some new basic obedience cues to help open up his world a little more. Erik loved his ball and absolutely loved a cuddle.
Sadly, Erik became unwell recently and was diagnosed with a heart tumor. After a short illness, it was decided that the medications were not helping, and nothing more could be done. I went to say goodbye on Erik's last day to have a cuddle and a cry, his weak tail wags greeting me as I walked in.
This job is exceptionally rewarding but can also be exceptionally devastating. You grow close to each and every dog you work with, and moments like this hit hard.
You were taken too soon, Erik, but you had the most wonderful owners who loved and cared for you. May your memory live on. ❤️
