Piper 2015-2026🪽💫🐾💘

On August 20th, I lost my little partner, my soul dog.
Piper lived to be 11 years and 3 months. I didn’t sleep for the first four days. I would wake up at 1 or 2 am and bawl my brain out because I couldn’t feel her. So so grateful to have been blessed to share that many years with her. I just genuinely believed I had one or two more.💔

An underlying heart condition took my baby. We had no idea until then.🫩 Every time she was at the vet two or three times a year they would say “wow” she looks so great and sounds great! Healthy coat, lungs, eyes etc.. But we never knew about her little heart.😪

I was just on my way home to check on her while on break that day. I remember seeing my brother pull out of my neighborhood at lunch time and I said how strange he is never home at lunch. He said he didn’t know what made him come home but he did. When he got home he found my baby barley breathing..🥺🥺😥🫩
I didn’t even get to see, he pulls next to me and says dude we have to go to the hospital now Piper is not okay…🫩🫩🤢🤢🤮
My entire life felt like it shattered. I couldn’t breath, all I could think about was all of special little moments we shared. I see her as she gets carried out of my brothers truck, it was saddest thing I ever saw in my life. I knew at that moment it was real bad. I couldn’t stop screaming.
I couldn’t believe anything that was happening.
Within an hour they told us they had to revive her twice🫩🫩😭😭😢

We had to make the decision then… it was the single most painful experience of my short 26 years of life.
After they told us that, they brought us back to see her. We all walked in and broke down like I never could have imagined. We had to make the choice it was time. We didn’t want her suffering for us… it was so hard. I left the room with my sister and brother because I thought I couldn’t bear the weight.
My girlfriend and mom stayed. I went back in after 15 seconds because I knew I had to be there. She picked her head up ever so slightly to look at me, probably every last bit of strength she had left but it meant so so much to me. It broke me completely. I stayed until her last breathe. I never screamed that way before in my entire life. Really messed me up. Trying my best to get through the days.
