I don’t even know how I have the willpower to even write this, my heart is breaking. It has come time to help my fur baby cross the rainbow bridge. This boy came to me when I worked at the humane society, a man walked in with a dog mom and a basket full of puppies, minutes old. Mom wouldn’t care for Dave, so he became my “project” at a day old. He slept in my sports bra while I worked, and I fed and cared for him around the clock. He not only survived, he thrived, despite realizing why mom didn’t want him, he had health problems, he had neurological issues, and never really had complete control over his left side, as much so as even his left ear wouldn’t stand up. It never once slowed him down. He truly became the keeper of my heart. I was holding him up the minute his first eye popped open. He was mine. He went everywhere with me. He never knew “alone” was a thing. I can just about count on fingers and toes how many nights we were apart, and if I was away from him for a night, he always knew I would have someone he loved and knew staying with him. He was there with me through bad days, fights, the good days, and the best days, he was my pillow I cried into when I lost my first baby boy during pregnancy, and he was there when we brought home my second baby. He always strived to make momma happy, he never needed a leash, he was the smartest boy on the agility course, and all his “tricks.” He was my spunky monkey, and there will never, ever be a better boy. He now resides in Heaven with Jace by his side being the best boy for him, until I get to hold them both again! Rest easy my favorite, best boy, and run free and chase all the squirrels! I love you with my whole whole heart Dave Isaac Leroy Dipierro 💕
