I don’t want to write this because writing makes it feel more real…and sometimes to save ourselves from felling apart we have to live in a bit of an imaginary transitional period to preserve ourselves for a little bit. But here it is… Mav, I cherished every single moment I got to spend with you, especially in the last six months. Everybody has that perfect childhood dog. I never had that but I had the perfect family dog in my life in my 20s and into my 30s. When they said you only had a few more weeks, but you had other plans, your work here wasn’t done and you spent an almost another six months with us, working alongside me all the way up to the day before your last day.🙏🏼✨ So grateful for all the amazing care you received from our wonderful vets and staff. They made an awfully unbearable experience beautiful and peaceful with their kindness and compassion for our boy. Mav, you taught me a lot in your time here on earth. There is never going to be enough time…100 years with you wouldn’t have even scratched the surface for loving you. The dishes can wait, who cares you have laundry to put away, go take your dog to the beach, give them that extra walk, take them to in n out for a patty, let them play in the grass.
If my love alone, could’ve kept you around forever it would have.
No dog will ever come close to measuring up to you, you have set the bar so high. You are the boy that made me fall in love with dogs (and you led me to my ness following along you being the best boy) I know you are running and swimming free of these earthly troubles in heaven with my sweet dad. I’ll see you in the happy faces of every dog I have the privilege of meeting. We went to the beach tonight in your honor but I don’t need to tell you that, you were there. 🙏🏼✨
