Our Luna-Tic Antics is gone 🥺🌈💔🐾🥺
The Bun came along at a time I never thought my heart would heal. She patched it up, taught me to never shut out love again for fear of the pain that comes with loss ❤️🩹 She made me believe in lightning striking twice and believing in the impossible.
She was in a lot of my videos. I've shared her health struggles over the years in vlogs on my youtube channel. I loved having her in my videos and it won't feel quite the same without her.
For over a year now we'd been trying to manage a grade 3 heart murmur with her failing kidneys. The kidneys won. 😔
She was quiet earlier this week, the past few days she only picked at her food. I had called the vet yesterday because I knew her kidneys were finally shutting down. I won't go into every detail but she's my third (and she was my last) Chinese crested lost to kidney disease/failure so I knew all the signs. We went to the vet this afternoon, she confirmed there was no getting better, no coming back from this downturn. We all agreed (hubby, vet, me) that if we waited to say goodbye and didn't help her pass peacefully and pain-free, she'd really suffer. I always promised her I'd never let that happen.
At 4:28pm today September 6, 2024 Luna, the Bun, (instagram) or just... B -departed this world. 🌈😔💔❤️🩹😢
Thank you to all who loved her irl and online over the years.
This is our second loss in 2024. Lil Dude left us in January.
I asked Bun to give him a message for me 🥹🐾
I will never forget all our kids at the rainbow bridge and I miss them all every day.
Our remaining 4 dogkids are about to get totally smothered with love and affection.
Don't wait to say I love you, set things aside, take time out, even small moments for the "little things". They are the big things in the end.
I spent so much time with Luna this week. I set aside lists of things to do, spent all day/night with her, watching TV, reading. I had NO idea today she'd be gone.
All my lists are still here but I have zero regrets for blowing it all off. I did the important thing. I spent my time with Luna, knowing her time with me was drawing to an end. Farewell my girl. I know you were always on borrowed time, thanks for finding me to share it with. 🥹🐾❤️🩹🌈😔
Special thanks to her foster mom Renee and rescue angel/dear friend Cecilia (and everyone at Naked K9 & Small Dog Rescue) for messaging me all those years ago about this lil "waif" they entrusted into my care. I can never thank you enough. I always said however long she was with me, I'd be grateful and I am. ❤ She saved me in ways no one will ever truly understand.
