IT’S A RISKY THING, GIVING YOUR HEART TO A DOG. BECAUSE YOU KNOW, RIGHT FROM THE START, THAT THEY WON’T STAY FOREVER. YOU SIGN UP FOR AN ENDING BEFORE YOU EVEN BEGIN.

BUT YOU DO IT ANYWAY. YOU LET THEM IN. YOU LET THEM TAKE UP SPACE IN YOUR HOME, IN YOUR ROUTINES, IN THE PARTS OF YOU THAT YOU DIDN’T EVEN REALIZE NEEDED FILLING. AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, THEY’VE GOT A PIECE OF YOU, ONE YOU WON’T EVER GET BACK, EVEN LONG AFTER THEY’RE GONE.

THE FUNNY THING IS, YOU NEVER REGRET IT. NOT EVEN WHEN THE END COMES, NOT EVEN WHEN IT WRECKS YOU IN WAYS YOU WEREN’T READY FOR. BECAUSE SOMEHOW, THE LOVE THEY GIVE OUTWEIGHS THE PAIN. EVERY SINGLE TIME.

THIS PAGE IS DEDICATED TO THE DOGS WHO HAVE CROSSED THE RAINBOW BRIDGE AND LEFT PAW PRINTS ON OUR HEARTS FOREVER. 

GONE FROM OUR ARMS, BUT NEVER FROM OUR HEARTS.
