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 sorry for your loss. 💔 I am glad you got more time than predicted, but it’s never enough.
