Just after 1 day of reporting that I had hit the 6 year anniversary of bringing my beautiful and amazing pup Gavn home on 2/26/2018 and he seemed be be progressing greatly from his cancer tumor, I have the deepest sadness and resident shock to report that things took a horrific turn for the worse this morning,
Gaving became violently ill, and disoriented and eventually found his way to my shower, where I ended up sitting on the floor beside him as Ellie joined us we all snuggled in the base of the shower until Gaving passed away at 9:41 am. The last couple of hours were very difficult for him, however all the way up until late last night I would have thought he was in full recovery. he was not in pain long. To say the has been surreal is an understatement. I spent most of the day in private chat with those who were aware of the struggle he and I both were experiencing as well as those who supported and donated to his treatment which truly made life bearable to where I was able to just shower him with love.
I can never express the profound impact as well as pawsitive trajectory that Gavin had on my life. He served me the best any dog ever could, I only hope I measured in return to him.
Thank you to everyone who came out of the woodwork to support us, many of whom I would never have expected, I can say I have now made new friends through this experience that I look forward to growing.
So many of you know exactly what I am experiencing today and of course, there are no words anyone can share to make the pain go away, But what I do know, as others also do, is the immense amount of pain and sadness I am feeling today, and will for the next few, is beyond worth the toll to pay in exchange for the immense joy, love, friendship, happiness, and unbreakable bond that I have been truly blessed to experience since the day I picked him up on February 26th, 2018. There is beauty in the sadness and pain, the world truly is remarkable, if you pay close enough attention it really is trying to make us all happy if we just let it.
I am Sending love and gratitude out to the world tonight for whomever also needs to receive it as I have been given an abundance of it! Love you Gav, you will forever be with me!
