There are days in rescue that are literally almost unbearable, where you can feel your heart breaking yet you wouldnt trade a single second even if its excruciating. Our sweet baby Chico fought harder than any dog Ive ever met and boy did he earn his wings. He let me know tonight that he was tired and ready, so as I promised him all along, I held him until he took his last breath and Im so grateful for that privilege. Because thats exactly what every day with Chico was, a privilege, and Im just so sad that his owners didnt feel he was worth even a $5 vaccine that wouldve saved his life. His other moms and I wouldve gone to the ends of the earth if it wouldve helped him. As we let him go I whispered to him to come back to me and I could only be that lucky. Chicos ashes will come home with me because he is not a stray. He was part of our family from day one and everyone who met him loved him. Chico, I wish I had more time to show you things that all dogs should know, to sleep on a couch and a bed, to watch tv together or get excited for a long walk, to enjoy special toys and treats and cause mischief. We did the best we could and there isnt a question in my mind, he knew how loved and cherished he was. Ill miss you so much my sweet boy, rest easy and please use your paw trick to sucker pets and ear rubs out of everyone in heaven, you earned it. Xoxo
