Some days in this industry ask more of your heart than you ever expect to give.
Loving a dog means one day, you will have to say goodbye and nothing prepares you for the depth of that loss. They are never “just a pet.” They are your shadow, your comfort, your routine, your joy, your family. And when they leave, they take a piece of you with them. The silence feels louder, the home feels emptier, and the grief… it comes in waves you didn’t know you were capable of feeling.
Since opening my salon just four months ago, I was truly blessed to have spent time grooming sweet Ruby. A gentle soul who left her mark in the quietest, most beautiful way. My heart is with her devoted parents, Deeann & Gary there are no words that can truly ease this kind of pain, only the hope that love like yours never fades, it simply changes form.
I’d like to think Ruby is now running free over the rainbow bridge, reunited with my own beloved Cookie and Sgt Bruno no doubt causing a little mischief and having the most wonderful time together.
Grief is real, because love is real. And the love we share with our dogs is one of the purest things we will ever know. Sending all my love, deepest condolences, and a warm embrace to you during this incredibly difficult time. May Ruby, Rest In Peace 🙏
With heartfelt sympathy,
