For those who have followed Twig’s journey… 🤍
After weeks of around-the-clock care, sleepless nights, feedings, worry, hope, prayers, and so much love, today we made the heartbreaking decision to let our sweet Twiggy go.
Despite everything we tried, his little body was facing more than it could overcome. After speaking with our veterinarian and seeing the struggles he continued to face, humane euthanasia was recommended and ultimately became the kindest and only choice I could make for him.
I never wanted to give up on him—and I didn’t. I fought for him for as long as there was something to fight for. But loving them also means knowing when continuing to fight is no longer for them, but for us. 🌼
Twig was surrounded by love until his very last moment. He was held close, spoken to with kindness, and stroked gently as he peacefully went to sleep. Afterward, I laid his tiny body on a bed of wildflowers the children picked themselves, with lavender oil—a soft, peaceful goodbye for a little soul who deserved nothing less.
Sweet Twiggy…
The runtiest runt that ever runted. 🤍
You were tiny, but the space you took up in my heart was anything but.
Thank you to everyone who prayed for him, asked about him, rooted for him, and loved him from afar.
You were loved every single day of your life. You mattered. And you will always be a part of our Into the Forest litter and a story of Laser Elite Bullies.
Run free, little Twig. 🌿🪻🤍
--- I also felt like this part of his story deserved to be shared.
So often, breeding programs only show the beautiful parts—the healthy puppies, the milestones, the happy families, the perfect pictures. But breeding isn’t always rainbows and sunshine. Sometimes the raincloud comes along, too. There can be heartbreak, sleepless nights, difficult decisions, and moments that hurt more than we ever expected.
I never want Laser Elite Bullies to be a program that only shares the easy or picture-perfect parts. Twig was part of this litter, part of this program, and very much loved. His story matters just as much as the happy ones do. ---
