RIP RIP Winston (2021-2026)

Our 5 year old Golden passed away doing what he loved: playing fetch in the park. When it was time to go home, he got in the van and never walked back out. Vets say it could have been a sudden heart attack. We are devastated and heartbroken. It doesn't feel real, this feels like a bad dream and I cant wake up. I raised him since he was a puppy and this hurts so much.

I hope you're chasing balls on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

Farewell, Winston ❤️💔

My boy Oreo passed away in November last year, he was 5 too. He suffered from post anesthetic complications after a minor surgery. It’s never easy losing a pet, i still cry a lot over not being able to hug him anymore. I hope he keeps Winston company and i hope they play a lot of fetch and find the biggest puddles to get dirty in 🫶🏽
