Hi all - It is Cannoli’s Mom, Joanna, here.
We are very sad to announce that our sweet pup, Cannoli, crossed the rainbow bridge last month after suffering kidney failure as a result of Cushing’s Disease and Diabetes.
Cannoli was the best of us. He was innocent, sweet, loyal, loving, stubborn and did things his way. There was no better companion, no better friend, no better little spoon. He was our light, our baby, and joy. He was beloved literally by all who met him, including celebrity . He loved burrowing under blankets and “left-pawing” his way to whatever he wanted.
Our grief is even more acute, knowing he will not be the Best Dog in our Wedding. The grief is unbearable at the moment, but we know he is no longer suffering. He was my best good boy. He loved squeaky toys and food, barking at home intruders, bacon, snuggles, sniffing, and attention. He loved people and children and was so, so, sweet. He waited for me outside of the bathroom every day. He made sure I was safe, always. He loved attacking Chris’s ears in play. He hated dancing, and we often lovingly referred to him as “Footloose.” He was our best friend.
We look forward to our wedding, but miss our best good boy immensely. Here’s to Cannoli. May he rest in peace.
A special thanks goes to his team of veterinarians at Nebel Street Animal Hospital and also VRA. If you would like to support dachshunds, please consider a donation to Cannoli’s Alma Mater, The Dachshund Rescue of North America.
I may continue to post pictures here as a way to remember him. Thank you for supporting him on social media all these years.
