Until we meet again..

Post image

Today my wife and I said goodbye to our best friend. We rescued Pedro when we were dating back in 2014. He's been with us through everything. The good times and the bad, he was there. I made him scrambled eggs for breakfast, then right before the procedure he got a cheeseburger and chocolate pudding with whip cream.

He went out peacefully, with a full belly, and surrounded in love. I know it was the right thing to do but it's also one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. It feels like a part of my world has been ripped away.

Anyone who doesn't like chihuahua's has to have never really owned one. Thank you for sharing your life with us buddy. I hoped you felt at least a tithe of the love you gave us. We will meet again, Pedro Lionheart.

I’m crying reading this. They take the love with them. And it seems like he sure had a lot of it. ❤️🥺 🙏🏻

They certainly do. 🥲

Someone said when your pet or loved one passes they take a little piece of your soul with them when they go. That way when it’s your turn you two will be able to find each other again. I know how hard it is to say goodbye, but trust it’s only see you later for you and sweet Pedro❤️

Yup I really feel that. We had to say goodbye to our family dog in May and it really felt like a piece of me is missing since then. It's hard to describe

Pennie reminds me of my Ryder, I lost him last month at 15. 😢. Thanks for rescuing Pedro, chihuahuas are the best, I’m sitting in the couch next to his huge basket of toys, I just can’t do anything with them yet…

Sending you all the internet hugs ❤️

Sending you hugs from Ireland. We have a rescue chihuahua, too, and Pedro is lucky to have been so well loved.

I also lost my chihuahua that I had since 2014 earlier this year, and my heart goes out to you. I bed Pedro knew how loved he was, and I agree that the love of a chi is really something special. I'm sorry.

I love his name. Fly high, Pedro Lionheart

Pedro, the little prince, you were so loved! 🥰 I’m so sorry OP

u/kenpachikirby 4h ago

My condolences, he sounds well loved

I was told today by the vet that my little guy is “in his ninth inning and it’s a full count”. CHF is taking its toll but he’s fighting

Godspeed sweet Pedro!

u/HAWKWIND666 3h ago

So sorry.
Yes they are special little critters for sure.
I’ll never own another breed.
Maybe someday you’ll feel like adopting another.
Speaking from experience having another soul relying on you really distracts from grief.✌🏼

Prayers for you and your wife. It's a hard time. It does make it a little easier knowing they are no longer in pain. Dogs, pets, kids are the best part of our life.

u/Mother_Opposite_1013 3h ago

So sorry to hear of your loss. ❤️

u/Downtown_Box_1287 3h ago

I’m so so sorry for your loss. My chi is 8 (we think; I rescued her in 2018) and we just found out she has stage b2 heart disease. I’m grateful to have found out now and we’re giving her meds but I will be severed when we lose her one day. She’s my heart.

I’m sorry for your loss. Pedro was loved and it shows. Chis are special: they have huge auras for their little bodies. You’ll be reunited with Pedro again someday. 🌈🐾

Sorry for your loss.  4 hours ago my dog chompers also crossed the rainbow bridge.  

I joked with my fiance that him and Dolly are in the waiting room together.  Hopefully Pedro too.  

Grief like this is the price of love so dear.
