To all of our friends and extended families. It is with the heaviest of hearts that we have to tell everyone that on September 12 at 6pm our most beautiful boy Navin crossed over the rainbow bridge to be with his friends and family.
It would be impossible for us to put into words the monumental impact Navin has had in our lives. It was the greatest 11 1/2 years we could have ever asked for.
Navin was a superstar wherever he went. Everyone was fascinated with him. Taking him to the parkway would be like walking with a movie star. People just wanted to meet him, touch him and say hi to him. It wasn't uncommon to have a dozen people waiting to meet him and take pictures.He never minded saying hi or giving a kiss to a stranger ever.
However, perhaps the most rewarding thing Navin did for us was being the inspiration to start Navins Big Love.Which proved to be the greatest decision we ever made. Mr "Tom" personally found his calling. Since 2017 we have welcomed over 30 pups into our home. Navin loved and babysat for each and every one of them. Always a great source of comfort and care, especially for new friends who were finding their way here. Whenever someone would get nervous or afraid they would always seek Navin out and sit with him. Such a calming force.
To all of our loyal customers who trust me with their pups, I can't begin to tell all of you how much it meant to have Navins friends here. Especially as he got older. Although Navin couldn't run and play anymore he loved it when a friend would come over. And each and every one of them loved to see him. Our hearts would soar when we would watch him with his friends. We are convinced that those relationships he had added years to his life. We are truly grateful for all of you!
Jana and I will continue to look to them for comfort moving forward. We will miss the Boss however, it was his business after all.
To our sweet boy,
Mommy and Daddy love you to the moon and back. We will miss you every single day forever.
We know that Odie and Macie were there to show you the way.We know that you're finally able to run and play again with your friends. That's all we can hope for. One more thing "Bubba" Thank you Thank you Thank you! We love you!
