Tilly Project
Bubby Hoover Mosley (Bub, B***y, Boopie, Toot, Mr. Toot, Mr. Hoover, Shuga) ❤️
Some sessions come together fast. Some need to happen right now.
This morning, Karen reached out while facing one of the hardest choices a pet owner can make. Bubby, her senior Chihuahua, is in the late stages of CHF, and she wanted a few good photos together before a crisis made the decision for her.
By this evening, we were together.
Bubby is around 14 or 15 years old, with warm eyes, one floppy ear, and a quiet little presence. Sweet boy. Stoic. Gentle. He loves a dog cookie, a warm patch of sun, and keeping tabs on Karen around the house.
Karen first fostered Bubby in 2019. Later, her friend Bill gave him a home and loved him for several years. When Bill’s health declined, he asked Karen to take Bubby back. She has cared for him ever since. Bill has since passed, but he remains part of Bubby’s story.
What stood out most tonight was the comfort between them. The way her hands knew exactly how to hold him. The way he relaxed into her touch. The kind of bond only time can build.
We also made space for Bill in spirit. ❤️
This session was part of The Tilly Project. I personally choose to offer these sessions at no cost because these moments matter. If you are nearing this chapter and want memories preserved, please reach out.
