Today I received a message that touched my heart in a way I wasn’t prepared for. One of the puppies I rescued years ago has passed away from old age, a long full life surrounded by love, comfort, and the people who adored him.
It’s a different kind of sadness when you hear this from an adopter. Not the sharp pain of a life cut short, but a quiet, unexpected ache. A reminder of how many little lives have passed through my hands, and how deeply each one mattered.
I’m grateful to his wonderful family for giving him the beautiful life every rescue deserves, and send them so much love. Rest gently, sweet boy. Brutus, you were loved from the very beginning, and you were loved to the very end.
