Knowing this day was going to come did not make it any easier. You were my best friend, my baby, and you have been by my side longer than most friendships.
To say I love you is an understatement and I’ve cherished every single moment with you.
To say I love you is an understatement and I’ve cherished every single moment with you.
This was the most difficult choice I’ve ever made in my entire life but I truly believe it was the right one. Watching your body work so hard to do the simplest of things told me it was time to end your suffering and for you to leave this earth with some dignity. I did not know I was capable of feeling so much grief but I also know it comes from the amount of love I have for you. You have so much of my heart. You’ve taught me more life lessons than I could have ever imagined and you’ve touched so many lives during your 16 years on earth.
I miss hearing your pitter-patter footsteps around our house, I miss you walking beside my feet looking up at me with your soulful eyes, I miss holding you, and I miss waking up to you. I truly believe our bond was once in a lifetime and while I will love every animal that comes into my life, you will always hold the most space in my heart. I will love you forever, Ricky. ♡
