5 years without you Roman 💔
You were the magnificent boy who taught me how to be the best mastiff mum I could be. Together we faced a lot of challenges such as hip dysplasia, reactivity, the scary bloat and life saving surgery, osteosarcoma and ultimately heart failure. I remember on those last days as you laid before me, I stroked your fur and told you that once you made your way over the rainbow, I would put all of your pain in my heart instead… and I really did.
I truly hope I gave you the best life possible. It wasn’t easy with a 100kg fear reactive boy but I tried to give you all you deserved. We went on holidays, discovered beaches, rode in police cars together, you graced the tv screens with your commercials even after you were long gone, you were chosen to be one of the doggos on Peter Alexander Sleepwear and were on all his product labels and you were and always will be the face of The Treat Truck Wa. I will cherish those days working beside you forever ❤️
Losing a mastiff is like no other loss. It’s literally such a huge presence missing. I was so angry that my love alone couldn’t save you. But the thousands of people around the world who loved you from afar, helped me through my hard days and they all still talk about you to this day. It brings me comfort to know you were so loved.
I pray that you and your brothers are waiting for me together over the rainbow baby cos when it’s my turn to make the journey, I will be running to you all ❤️
Love you forever Roman ( aka The Donut King 🍩 👑)
