With heavy hearts, we had to say goodbye to our Billy. 💔 Such a hard thing to do. 🥺😭His health had declined so much; he had stopped eating, drinking & wasn’t able to walk, but he fought hard to the end. We were all with him till his last moment. He had good life. Missing him.

Made the mistake of going for a walk that I would normally take Billy and I thought I would be able to hold off crying, but was 😭 by the end of it. So hard. Just can’t get over how quiet the house is without him. This was his last walk when he was able to. Miss him. 😔😢🥺
