In 2017 I was working for another dog walking company and was asked if I wanted to board a French Bulldog. I was warned that she was feisty and she would be a lot of work. I love all bully’s so I immediately said yes. I had no idea that I would be sitting here over 7 years later absolutely heartbroken to know I will never get the chance to see that feisty frenchy again.
Yesterday Nessa’s parents made the decision to say goodbye to her after she got very sick and they discovered she had a cancerous tumor on her heart and cancer in her lungs. It all happened so quickly and I will forever hate that I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye.
If you knew Nessa, you knew she was a fierce warrior queen in the body of a little dog. She bowed down to no one and made you earn a place in her heart but once you were in, it was a love like no other. Kat, Niall and I always felt so lucky to love her and be loved by her.
Although she was not ours she was a huge part of our family, growing up along side Siobhan. Every time she stayed with us she would choose Siobhan’s room as her favorite spot and together the two girls were the Sleeping Club.
As I went through all my pictures and videos of Nessa I couldn’t stop laughing through the tears. She was so photogenic and had such an amazing wardrobe we couldn’t resist any photo ops with her. I’ve done my best to whittle down what I have but it’s been difficult as every memory feels too important not to share.
Our team loves to give the dogs voices and to us Nessa always sounded like Roz from Monsters Inc. I know in my heart that just like Roz, Nessa is with us and is always watching ♥️
We’ll miss you everyday of our lives Neza and you will always be a part of our Ruff’s Family, we’ll love you forever ♥️
To Jonathon and Nadine, I cannot express my gratitude to you for trusting us with Nessa, letting us be a part of your lives and giving us your unwavering support and generosity from the moment we started our own company. All I can say is thank you, thank you so much for everything ♥️
