2013 - 2026

Even doing what I do for a career didn't prepare me for this. It's been the 1 thing Ive dreaded since the day I brought you home.
You aren't there barking at me when I get home. You arent there to lick my hands every chance you get.
You arent there begging for literally anything I was eating or even looking like I might be eating 😂
You aren't there when I get home from a hard day at work.
You aren't there when I ask who wants to go outside and it's just Saber waiting to go.
Theres never gonna be another girl like you and I know this pain will never go away because this isnt my first time.
Bristol Rae, you have been my girl since you were 7 weeks old and I was there until your very last moment here.
I can never express how many times that dog healed me. She was there for every big step in my life. She was there when I moved into my first house. When I brought Lorelai home. When I got my first job in vet med. When Kasey passed. When Remi passed. When Ryan got sick. When I needed her the most. She was always there. Always happy to see me when I got home. Always wanted her mama.
I'm gonna miss your nibnibs. You kisses. Your stinky farts. Your aggressive snuggles and the way we used to snuggle together. Your aggressive love for water. Your love for food. Your goofy smile. Your neediness. Your love for Saber. Your 18 toes. Your heavy breathing. The list could go on forever.
You. I'm gonna miss you.
It comes in waves but when they come, they come hard.
I love you Bristol Rae. Bribble. Briffle. Rae rae. Cushing's. big Bertha. My girl. My baby girl. My shot gun girl. My best friend. My everything password. My favorite pain in the ass.
Thank you for letting me be your mama.

If love alone could have saved you, you would have lived forever. 🐾💜🖤
