Our fuzzy family member has passed

I heard from your uncle that Pluto passed today.

You met him too few times but I’m pleased you had the chance. Hearing you giggle with him was one of my highlights of last year

Pluto has been in the family since before you were born. It’s incredible all the things that have happened, from when he was a puppy to you being born.

Something that was very similar between you both, was your tenderness.

If heaven exists, we’ll all be reunited one day I suppose!

The last day you had some time with PlutoGiggling and chasing Pluto

One of my favourite videos is of you chasing Pluto around giggling and pulling at his hair. Maybe you were jealous!

Difficult memories

The last few times we were together with Pluto bring difficult memories. In the summer, our time had been cancelled again and again so grandma suggested we travel to River Town even if it was only a moment.

We travelled for hours and hours and your mum only allowed us 2 hours. She said it was because you had been unwell, but also refused to meet in the centre, probably 5 minutes in the car, which meant that we lost an hour travelling between the centre and the station.

I can’t understand how it would be in your interest to be needlessly taken in the buggy for an hour rather than enjoying the weather at the park with the family dog.

The last time you saw Pluto was when we went to visit grandma and the following day, just days before my birthday and Christmas, your mum refused to let us go to see your uncle and took you.

I wish memories of Pluto and you were happier and without this struggle and pain.

The future

One day there will be more pets and little ones. We’ll snuggle together when we’re under the weather and have the best time at picnics.
