We are so sad to learn that Sookie Fluffibunnikins earned her wings yesterday 😢
We will miss you, sweet little princess of our hearts ❤️ Logan waits for sure at the rainbow bridge for you. Romp free 🫶🏼😔
We are sending huge hugs to your humans. They gave you the best life a little princess can wish for ❤️
On August 20, 2023 our crazy, wonderful, demanding little diva / heart dog crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. Sookie was part of our lives for 12 years, and the loss is beyond devastating, but we are grateful to have had her as part of our family.
Sookie loved going to Corgi meetups until she decided other dogs just weren’t her thing. She spent three years as a Pet-Assisted Therapy dog and Canine Ambassador at the San Diego Humane Society, bringing joy to countless lives while visiting schools, convalescent centers, juvenile hall, and dozens of other locations. She was even AKC certified as a Therapy Dog, even though her instructor always called her the class clown.
Our furkid spent more nights in hotels and went on road trips to more states than most humans. She was a So Cal dog through and through but loved to explore new places. Sookie was the absolute best co-pilot/navigator and was a hit with hotel staff wherever we went.
We called her a furry speedbump when we went on walks because she would sit in front of random strangers and not move until they petted her. When she got to the point where walks took too much out of her, she loved wheeling around in her “princess carriage,” greeting everyone with a smile and demanding attention.
She ate at hundreds of restaurants, tried surfing, went jet skiing, and loved lounging in our pontoon boat watching the wildlife. And whenever a package was delivered, or bags were brought into the house, she had to be the one to open them. Every birthday or Christmas present was hers – even if it wasn’t intended to be. Her skills at unwrapping gifts were unparalleled!
Sookie loved her family with all her little heart. All you had to do was say auntie, uncle, or sister, and she would perk up, even as her energy level decreased.
In her final days, she still managed to smile and even played a little. She even managed to barooo at breakfast and dinner, and took her insulin shots and various medications like a champ. But we knew - and she knew - that she was ready to frap free over the Rainbow Bridge. We know she’ll be greeted by her Corgi friends who’ve made their way over the Rainbow Bridge, and by her furbrothers and fursister Osa, Cammy, and Joe.
Our hearts are heavy and the hole she left in them will take a long time to heal.
If you feel so inclined, a donation can be made in her name to the San Diego Humane Society.
