Tonight we received a message that one of our coonhound puppies adopted from us in 2016 has passed away after battling cancer and being in remission twice. Dutch was very spoiled and loved by her family. The passing of a beloved pet is never something we want to go thru but it makes it a little easier knowing she was so loved and cared for. Below is what her family wrote....
She was spoiled rotten and had many birthday parties, unwrapped lots of Christmas presents and was on every Christmas card from 2016-2025. She had her own stocking and had a different Halloween costume every year. We got her little boots to walk the trail, which she wore a few times because they just weren’t the perfect fit for her little feet. She was a sweet, loving girl. Scared of her own shadow. Would bring her favorite toy to the door in her mouth when we returned from being away. On Sunday April 12th Dutch’s body grew tired and even though we did not want to let her go, we knew it was the best for our girl. She is missed beyond words and will be loved forever. Thank you for entrusting us with Baby Dutch as she was known by her family. We truly are thankful to be her family.
Cecilia and family we are forever grateful of the love and care you gave Dutch all these years. We know she was a cherished member of the family. May all the memories you had with her help heal your heart in time.
Sincerely,
Rebecca and Elizabeth
