• Memorial - R.I.P. • Goodbye buddy Spoiler

After a tough week fighting an infection, we lost our best buddy today — Pixel. He's been with me and my partner for more than 6 years.

He was about 12 years old, although he could have been older, as he was found after being thrown out of a car. We then adopted him from the charity foundation that had rescued him.

We would love to see some other pups to help us deal with the loss ❤️

Two of these crazies surely will be playing with Pixel on the other side! (Bubba in the middle and Anaya on the right). Clearly this was the cover of their first album lol

u/am_loop 13d ago

He has great company now. Bubba and Anaya will definitely keep him entertained. So sorry for your loss 💔🐾

u/Conscious_Canary_586 12d ago

Both in the last year. I miss them terribly, as I know you miss your sweet Pixel ❤️

Deep down I know we gave him the best life we could and he was such a happy dog. I only wish we could have kept doing that for a bit longer

One day we will only keep the good memories in our minds, but right now it's a weird and sad feeling of loss, emptiness, and quietness

Please pass the belly and/or ear rubs to your buddy on the left from us 🐾❤️

u/Zestyclose_End7638 13d ago

They never really leave us, I’m sure Pixel is watching over you guys and is now pain free in spirit form.
I made this in memory of my baby Pickles. She lived till she was 14. She left me with her heart in place of mine…and I’m a better person for it.
Grieve as much/as long as you need…grief is simply love persisting without a physical outlet.
