Losing My “Heart” Dog…

In the early hours of Sunday, March 24th, we lost our beautiful girl Pia. We think Pia was more than fourteen years old when she passed away, possibly much older. Pia was home when she passed, safe in my arms and surrounded by her family. In just seconds I felt as though my heart had been ripped out of chest and shredded up. I’ve lost my baby girl, my little Pia Roja, who followed me around everywhere, who thought the world of me. And now I’m left to pick up the pieces of my heart and try to go about my days without her beside me. Without a doubt, this feels like the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life.

Every day I am reminded of her. I wake up thinking of her, and go to sleep thinking of her. She changed our lives completely for the better, and sometimes moving on without her feels impossible. The loss is huge, and everyone in our home feels it. She was loved, adored and pampered until her last moments with us, and now she lives on in our hearts forever after.
