For the best General Manager we will ever have.🖤
I've been wanting to write a tribute post for Etta ever since she died. But I've been struggling to know where to start, wondering how words can ever begin to do her justice. This dog was a saint. She came into my life when I was broken and lost and she somehow ended up becoming a part of me that is so profound that I feel like I've lost a body part. To say she supported me emotionally is really an understatement- she was more of an emotional support chameleon, shifting from a mother figure, to a sister, to a nanny dog and a best friend. She got me through 2 babies, 2 toddlerhoods, a pandemic, a degree, 1.5 evictions, bereavements, a whole load of other things that are too personal to put on social media. An armpit cuddle, a gentle moo or a soft nasal exhale from her and I would know things will be alright. She had poise, elegance, grace, fierceness, stubbornness, wisdom, patience, stamina, determination, pride. She taught us all so well. And she had such a presence- on group walks she would merely have to look at another dog for them to fall into line. You just did not f**k with Auntie Etta. And i want you all to know that she didn't lose her battle with cancer. Cancer didn't win. She would have fought until the bitter end if I had let her- she would literally have fought to the death because that's the kind of grit and strength she had. But the last gift i could give her was mercy 💔 To the best dog I could ever have dreamt of raising my babies alongside. You did good beautiful. We will never forget you 🖤
