We had to say goodbye to our beloved. #dogs #cancersucks #loveofdogs

So sorry for loss. I know exactly what you're dealing with. I'm currently dealing with the exact same issue with my little one. Sending you lots of love. ♥️

We’ve been spending most of our time with sweet Lilly. Since we eased back on her meds, her breathing has gotten tougher, and she’s been having more challenging days. She hasn’t made her way to the rainbow bridge just yet, but we feel she’s inching closer. #lymphomasucks #SoulmateDog #PetFamily

A message from Lilly. Hi Frens. What a ruff month. Doc says that lump is something called lymphoma. There’s not much we can do. Mommies are soaking up every moment with me. I still love slow walkies, sunshine naps, and snuggles. This pic? Cherry blossoms + me = magic.
Lots of licks, Lilly 🐾❤️
