We’ll Miss you Riley!

Hi Friends! I have some sad news to share today. Riley our dog passed away last Tuesday, (Feb 28). He was almost 13 years old (his 13th bday would have been this June). We were still on vacation when he died. Unfortunately, we booked the soonest flight we could get back home, but couldn’t get here fast enough. My DIL was taking care of him, was with him in his last moments. He brought him to the vet Tuesday afternoon when he noticed some labored breathing and an x-ray showed that cancer was spread everywhere and there’s nothing they can do about it and suggested we put him down. We were hoping that we could still make it back, but he declined so rapidly. This is what saddens me and my hubs the most, that we couldn’t be with him during his last moments. At least he was with my DIL who he loves and he was in our house where he felt comfortable and safe. He lived a great life and knows we all loved him. He was such a fun and loyal dog! We will miss him terribly and it will take a long time for this emptiness we are feeling right now to go away.

The day we got him from the pet store
such a cuddle bug
loves the fireplace
always there with me

Thank You God for almost 13 years of unconditional love from Riley! You’ll always be in our hearts Puss:)
