In Loving Memory of Laker

11.4.11-01.27.25

Laker,

You were always more to me than a dog. You have been with me through countless milestones, heartaches, growth, and change. No matter what, we did it together. 

My heart breaks as I type this to acknowledge that you’re no longer physically with me but it’s funny, I can still hear you walk down the hall and howl when you hear a siren. I know you’ll be in heaven, watching whatever I do next. You have always been one of a kind and I’m so grateful that I was your mom. You taught me so much about life without meaning to. You taught me to be a better friend, to love unconditionally, and to always live life to the fullest. 

Yesterday, you were chasing your ball and watching the sunset go down. 

Today, you were not yourself and you looked at me with eyes that said, “I can’t do this anymore”. 

I knew in my heart you were ready. We really took it day by day. We spent the last couple weeks with extra cuddles, cheeseburgers, and ball chasin’.

You will forever be my #souldog. I can’t express how much my heart even hurts but I know you know I loved you more than life, even on our hard days, the love didn’t go unnoticed. 

Forever us against the world. 

I love you, Laker. 

I can’t wait to run to you one heavenly day.
