This one hit hard and close to home. Grief has a way of making time feel like it stops, and when it’s the loss of a pet—especially one as legendary as Choochy—it becomes even harder to find the words. That’s why we needed a few days to post. Saying goodbye to Chooch wasn’t just about losing a dog; it was about saying farewell to a family member, a best friend, and an unforgettable spirit that brought joy to everyone he met.
Choochy wasn’t just any pup. He was everyone’s favorite furphew, a four-legged ball of love with the kind of charm that could win over even the most hardened hearts. There was something magical about him—something in his eyes, his energy, his unconditional love. Whether you were family, a friend, or just someone lucky enough to come across his photos online, Choochy had a way of making you feel like you knew him.
He left paw prints not only on our hearts but across our entire lives. From shared meals to late-night cuddles, from happy howls to the simple joy of a wagging tail greeting you at the door—Choochy was there, reminding us of the good in this world. That kind of love doesn’t fade with time. It settles in deep, living on in memories, laughter, and even the quiet moments when you still expect to hear his paws padding down the hallway.
We take comfort in knowing he’s watching over his mom and dad, @eddienchooch215 and @krystal.lea, and his baby sister CiCi. Choochy always had a protective soul, and we know he’s still keeping an eye on his family, guiding them through the tough days ahead. Up in doggy paradise, we imagine him lounging in the sun, tail wagging, munching on endless pizza crusts—his favorite snack. If heaven had a kitchen, Choochy’s got a spot right next to the oven, waiting for treats and smiling that signature smile.
To Eddie, Krystal, and CiCi—our hearts are with you. The love you gave Choochy was nothing short of extraordinary, and he returned that love a hundredfold. He was never just a pet; he was your companion, your protector, your first baby. And while no words can truly ease the pain, know that he will always be with you—in every memory, every laugh, every shared slice of pizza.
Rest in paradise, sweet Chooch. You were admired by many, loved by millions, and cherished by all who had the honor of knowing you. Legends never die, and your legacy of love, loyalty, and light will live on forever.
We miss you more than words can say.
