Disney.
As a family friend once said, you were given the perfect name, since there are two things that all kids love: puppies, and Disney World.
When we took you to your first vet check-up, we were told that you had a heart condition and would be unlikely to live until your first birthday. We were absolutely devastated, as the love we have for you had already formed deep roots in our hearts. Little did we know that we would go on to have 12 and a half amazing, joyous, love-filled years with you. 12 birthdays where you were spoiled with all your favourite things. 12 Christmases where you always got to open your stocking first because you were the most excited. 12 whole trips around the sun, doing all your favourite things like eating cheese and chasing your beloved orange ball. I think you knew when we first brought you home, and you were just a tiny little 3-pound puppy, that we needed you. You completed our family for those 12 and a half years, and now without you there will forever be a little shih poo shaped hole in our lives.
Disney, you will forever be missed in our family. We will miss you rolling over for belly rubs. We will miss hearing you bark at any animal that passed by our window because you thought you could take them on — even if they were bigger than you. We will miss how you always curled up with your head on the pillow because you knew you were a princess. We will miss coming home and seeing you lying on your red blanket on the back of the couch in the living room, keeping watch out the window and anxiously awaiting our arrival. We will miss giving you chips and hearing you crunch as you chewed them. We will miss your constant, comforting presence in our home.
You were the perfect puppy and the missing piece in our family. Every single day of your life, you were told how much you were loved, and how you were the best. We all love you so much, and we hope that after crossing that rainbow bridge, you’re able to sprint after your orange ball again.
We’ll see you again one day, precious pup
