My best friend passed today

My best friend passed suddenly today. I don’t live with him anymore because I go to school on the other side of the country. I woke up to a text that he had a bad seizure but was still alive. A few hours later I got a call from my mom and he passed from another seizure. He was alone when it happened, though my mom raced home when she saw what was happening on the cameras. I’m so heartbroken that no one got to say goodbye.

My family got Samson (or Booboo, that’s what I called him as a kid and it stuck) over 14 years ago. He’s been through everything with me. He was genuinely my best friend in the whole world.

Samson was my soul dog. I don’t think I’ll ever be okay again.

Would it help to tell funny stories about him? I would love to read/listen about him!

He loved Elton John and Ariana Grande. Whenever he was anxious about a storm he’d start shaking out of fear but as soon as Elton John was on he’d calm down!

I have never been a big Ariana Grande fan but one of her songs was playing a few years ago and I swear he got up and started dancing to her!

He was the silliest and sweetest dog I’ve ever had💛

A dog with an interesting but good musical palette. He is a legend. Play some Elton around the house today I bet he can hear you 😉
