My heart hurts so deeply. Last night – October 31, 2016 – at 11:55 p.m. my sweet buddy’s soul was released as his heart beat for the last time. He was in my arms surrounded by our endless love. Toby happened into my life 7 years ago and we loved each other fiercely from that first moment until his last faithful breath. I will love him and miss him forever. Toby suffered from a collapsed trachea and over the past few days, he was really struggling to breath. I know first-hand how that feels and we knew that the day was upon us that we would have to make the very hard decision to let him go. However, my loyal companion gave me the gift in the end by taking that journey without our interference. When it comes to fur-babies, he was one of the best. His spirit was unique and he will never be forgotten. In his short life, he lived big and brought me tremendous joy and wonderful memories. I know that he will be waiting for me – along with all of my previously departed fur-babies – when it’s my turn to take that journey. May you rest easy my sweet little boy. We love you, Toby…Always.
