Taylor Hill Instagram – Last Wednesday we took Tate back to the emergency room because he seemed to be feeling pretty sick again. He was very lethargic, not moving and it seemed like he was having difficulty breathing. They admitted him back into the ICU and his doctors told us the cancer was progressing despite his chemotherapy treatments. His kidneys took another big hit and continuing with his treatment was no longer an option. He wasn’t strong enough and regardless of the cancer, because of his kidneys, he was not able to go on. I could tell he was in a lot of pain and really wasn’t feeling good. We ultimately had to make the very difficult decision to let Tate go. We checked him out of the hospital on Thursday and took him home so we could be with him and we were able to have a doctor come over to our apartment on Friday to help us say goodbye in a safe space where Tate knew he was only with the people who love him most. Tate to me is more than just dog, we had a very special bond as I’m sure so many people can relate to. This experience with cancer and having to say goodbye to Tate so soon and so quickly has been pretty devastating. I’m so grateful to him for pushing through for our wedding and really trying to get better, he gave us another month together and I cherish that time immensely. I know Tate was loved by so many people and I can feel that love everyday and it makes me still feel close to him. I miss him so much, I still call out his name sometimes thinking he’s there. He was truly apart of me and I feel like I’m missing a body part without him. Thank you to everyone at the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center in New York for fighting for Tate and taking such good care of him. I wouldn’t have gotten the time I had with him if it wasn’t for them. And thank you to everyone for loving Tate so strongly for the wonderful 9 years he was with us. He will always live on forever because he’s in the hearts of so many people. Rest in peace my beautiful little angel. You are the goodest boy ✨
