Susie Castillo Instagram – This morning, we said goodbye to our sweet boy, Oscar. He was almost 16 years old and he lived a great life. Traveled more than most people ever get to. The last couple years had their rough moments — his health was failing (congestive heart failure) — but he was a trooper. He always took his medications, even when we could tell he didn’t want to. The vet told us he may live 6-12 more months if everything went well, and this mofo went and lived 2.5 more years. Like I said, trooper. I always struggled a bit with Oscar because I wanted to smother him with love, but he was nooot into it. He didn’t like too much affection. So it often felt like we had a disconnect. Like our love languages were different. But in the end, I realize that I loved him the way I was meant to love him, and him me. He was a blessing. Despite occasionally being a HUGE pain in the butt (IYKYK). Short version, he liked to yell at us if we didn’t give him what he wanted, and that yelling sound was unlike any sound any dog has ever made. Picture the air in a helium balloon being let out verrrrry slowly lol. It drove me crazy sometimes. And yet right now, going on 11 hours since his passing, I miss it so much it hurts. Oscar, wherever you’re off to, I love you and I miss you, and I hope we meet again ❤️ | Posted on 17/Jun/2023 08:30:56
