I am so sorry I missed this last month. This is beautiful… 🥹

I know how hard this bites. Something to think about, perhaps, is Ollie’s life. He could have been in any home. How lucky was he to land in yours? I hope you’re doing okay Michele. 💛💛💛

Thank you so much, Brodee! I really appreciate your message. And thank you so much for what you said about Ollie landing in my home. That made me smile. I'm so grateful to have had the honor of sharing the past 13 years with such a special little guy.

Beautiful, Michele.

I'm so sorry you had to say goodbye to Ollie. It really is true that they're never here long enough - no matter how many years we have with them.

Sending you love.

I’m so sorry, Michele. It’s so hard to lose your fur baby. All of them on the other side are happy and proud that you were their mama.

Thanks, Priyanka. It really is tough to navigate the loss of these beautiful beings. But I do believe Ollie and my other four-legged kids who have transitioned to the other side are happily playing together and are healthy once again.

Oh, Michele, I'm so sorry! Wow, I could feel the heavy heart in this post. It's so incredibly painful to lose a pet. They really do become part of who we are. My heart goes out to you ♥️
