Belly

 
 

It is with a heavy heart that I write this memorial for my dear Belly. She was more than just a dog; she was a cherished member of my family, my constant companion, and, in the truest sense of the word, my heart dog. From the moment she came into my life, her playful spirit and unwavering loyalty filled my days with immeasurable joy.

Belly had a way of understanding me without words. She was with me for 13 sweet years, sharing in my happiness, and simply being present for all of life's ups and downs. Our bond was unique and profound, a testament to the incredible connection we share with our animal companions.

I will forever treasure the countless memories we made together: our walks on the beach, cozy evenings spent by the fireplace, and even the silly moments that brought laughter to my life. Her absence leaves a void that can never truly be filled, but I am eternally grateful for the love and happiness she brought into my world.

Though Belly is no longer by my side, her paw prints will forever remain etched on my heart. She will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

Peter

June 21, 2024

Peter's impact on my life cannot be overstated.  In the three years we shared, Peter embodied joy and resilience. Despite experiencing repeated life-threatening challenges, he never lost for a moment his silly, affectionate, toy-obsessed, inquisitive, and deeply loving character. His primary concerns remained how he could repurpose objects into toys, fit his entire 70-pound body on my lap, and make every stranger a friend. He was a source of genuine joy and gratitude when neither came easily, and he was my dearest friend, family, companion, and teacher.
