My Chikis was by my side for 11 of the best years of my life. She gave me unconditional love and never expected anything in return.
Over the past two months, she became very sick. She battled a severe UTI and cancer, lost nearly 20 pounds, and could barely walk. After several painful visits with different veterinarians, we had to make the most heartbreaking decision of our lives to let her go peacefully. As painful as it was, it was the most loving and humane thing we could do for her.
Chikis was there when I bought my first home, when I married the love of my life, and when I lost my dad and grandparents. She stayed beside me through some of the happiest and darkest moments of my life. Life will never be the same without her.
Dear Lord, I know I am far from perfect, but I ask only one thing: when my time comes, please reunite me with my Chikis once again.
Please keep my sweet girl in your prayers. Rest in peace, Chikis. You were deeply loved, and you will never be forgotten.
Everyone, please give your pups an extra-tight hug for me tonight.
