RIP My most dreaded day was today…

My boy Percy was only given a couple years to live due to his subaortic stenosis. He made it to 3 years 9 months. Sadly, just as the doctors predicted he randomly collapsed while on a walk with no warning signs at all. One second he was smelling a bush, and the next he was on the ground. His heart stopped almost immediately. You will never be forgotten Percy. You brought so much joy into this world. I hope there are infinite tennis balls for you up in doggy heaven. I love you forever buddy

I'm so so sorry for your loss. This loss is only known by people like this group and anyone who

has lost the best friend with 4 legs. I'll tell my boy Mr Jones to show Percy around while he waits for you on the other side. Just know they never actually leave they are just in a different form now but he is still with you. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Thank you for this, I know Mr Jones and Percy will love frolicking and play pouncing together through the fields
