Six months ago we said goodbye to our beloved Gigi. After 17 wonderful years her little body just couldn’t take any more. She left this Earth surrounded in love by her extended family, in my lap, in her home. I don’t know how to begin to describe how much I love her, how she was my best friend, and how many times she saved my life, always being there for me when I needed her. She went to work with me every day in the before times and was my daughter’s virtual class mascot during the pandemic. She brought the kids so much joy when they needed it. I know the pandemic has been hard but my greatest blessing was being able to spend so much time with her. We took walks every single day (unless raining) so she could still experience the great outdoors from her satchel. I happily built my entire life around her and her extremely intense medicine schedule (she was in liver failure, luxated patellas, arthritis, etc.) and I still don’t know what to do with myself. My heart is forever broken but I’m grateful for every second spent with that magical being. I don’t know that any pup ever had a better life, I worked myself to the bone to make every single day special for her in her final years.
