In Memory of Dalton from Promway

11/19/2023

There’s no way I am writing this post for the third time in just 7 months…
My heart is broken, again.
My Willoughby, sweet sweet Willie…

The one who introduced me to the Pointer breed and their sweet souls. The one who is the reason why I have Odin and Scooby; two more sweet Pointer boys.

I only had you for four short years, but you showed me love that will last for centuries and memories for a lifetime. My shadow… everywhere I went, there you were; just *click click click* right behind me.
I remember finding out you liked to howl and you taught Odin to let his howls out ❤️
You came into my home with Oakley and dalton, right after the only world you’d known had fallen out from under you, and just fit right in; of course I had to keep you! My scared man; so nervous about pretty much everything. Yet you still took on all of our adventures ❤️ you were always so happy to greet us at the door and prance around to the “Willoughby song” ❤️
My OG Pointer. The reason I will forever be in love with your breed. I know there will always be a piece of you in every dog I’ll ever have, their sweet nature will forever remind me of you; but none will ever take your place ❤️

Until I get to kiss your stinky face again… thank you.
I love you, Willie.

My heart hurts. So, so much. 💔

Oakley… my beauty queen, baby girl, sissy girl. My prettiest girl in the whole wide world, the best “sister sue” to the others of our crew.

My baby girl is gone…

The one who was euthanasia listed for being at a pound for too long, and was broke free just two days before.. The one who was almost adopted by someone else who, luckily for me, backed out last minute. The one I sped down to the humane society for when I got the voicemail to “come get your dog!”
My first dog on my own. My little therapy girl who worked for her CGC and got to go visit many nursing homes and schools; you made so many people smile.
You were always meant to be mine.

From apartment living with a yard much too small for a big heart like yours, to the moment you passed… you never complained. Always only showed love.
You taught me so many things about owning a dog, and every one of those lessons I will hold close forever.

My little swimmer, fetch fanatic, frisbee chaser, spunky little girl… I will cherish my memories of you forever.

You’re with your Bubba D again and I know you’ll both always be around… I just can’t believe I’ve lost both of my “OG”s not even 2 months apart. I truly would not be here if it wasn’t for you and Dalton.

Until I get to see you running to me in the afterlife; thank you for being my girl, I love you.

It is with the heaviest heart that I make this post…

Dalton crossed the rainbow bridge this morning. His health had been declining lately and today his vessel for this Earth was at its end.

Thank you, Dalton, for a great 8 years in my home. I wish I could’ve had you from a puppy, but bringing you home after being at the kennel for 4.5 years, is a decision I’ll always cherish. Thank you for the countless memories, the endless laughs, and for the most unconditional love. You taught me so many things about owning a dog and I thank you for every lesson learned. You protected me through the hardest time of my human life. You helped me through my 20’s and I can only hope that you know I did everything possible to help you through your golden years. Thank you for being the best sidekick to your sissy, Oakley. It’s going to be so hard not having the second half of the “OG Club”. I have you tattooed on me forever, I get to look at you every day, but I’ll be counting down the days until I get to hold you again.

From being found on the streets at 2 yrs old, to being at the kennel for 4.5 years. From living in the old townhouse with a yard much smaller than you deserved, to buying the house and getting you and sissy a fenced in yard. Thank you.

The love of a dog is unmatched and their only downfall is not being here long enough, ever...

I love you Dalton, Bubba, Biggest Man - watch over us all ❤️

Dalton’s 7 year adoption anniversary was yesterday, 11/3/22!
He’s such a good boy and I wouldn’t trade any minute I’ve had with him for the world ❤️
