Marnie Alton Instagram – How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard…💔🪽
24 hrs ago I had to say my last goodbye to the happiest warrior I’ve ever known. It was an unexpected shock to say the least. What I thought would be a quick vet visit suddenly turned into hours of tests & a diagnosis of hemangiosarcoma (an insanely aggressive blood cancer) that spiraled so quickly he was gone in less than a day.
Bourbon, you were everyone’s bestie. To meet you was to fall in love with you. I have never met a sweeter, more social pup… an embodiment of pure joy, the kindest goofball, little weirdo, unconditional love giver, my up-for-anything-ride-or-die & the VERY BESY BOY! ❤️ I will forever miss your snaggletooth smile, messy hair, thousands of miles we walked & countless hours we snuggled. You taught me that every sunrise, leash sighting, car ride & new friend was a reason to celebrate with a twirl. You reminded me every single day to be grateful for all the magic in the mundane moments- a patch of sun on the patio, a warm fire, or rollin’ with the windows down. With you, even a trip to the post office became the most fun adventure. In my ugliest times you were always right beside me (literally would not leave) shining your little light until it broke through the darkness & lit me back up again. Not sure how, but you could always heal me…and anyone else lucky enough to know you. All of this without ever saying a word. I’m just having a hard time getting through this one without you buddy…we still had a lot of life we were gonna live together. Can’t believe you’re gone.
I have no idea what we did to deserve dogs but they are truly our greatest gift. If we were all just a little more like them I don’t think the world would be such a mess right now. Burbs, I promise to stay silly, grateful for the little things, to keep twirling & to always lead with love for all…in your honor sweet boy. 🤍🐾🪽 | Posted on 25/Jan/2025 01:17:34
