Some comments just make you shake your head, and this one? Yeah, it was bizarre—no lie. I don’t know what people expect when they follow someone who shares their life with animals they love deeply. If it bothers you to see me post about Chooch, then maybe this isn’t the place for you. I’m always going to post Chooch. Always. He was my best friend, my loyal companion, and honestly, a huge part of my world.
Chooch wasn’t just “a dog.” He was family. He helped raise CiCi when she came into the picture—this scrappy, confused little pup who didn’t know what love or safety looked like. Chooch showed her. He taught her how to trust. He kept her company when she was afraid. He was gentle when she needed it and firm when she needed guidance. That’s a bond you don’t just forget or stop talking about because someone finds it “too much.”
And yes, her name is CiCi. She’s got her own personality—curious, sensitive, and a little dramatic when she wants attention. But she’s come so far, and honestly, it’s thanks to Chooch. That’s why I’ll keep telling their stories, sharing old videos, and laughing at their memories. I owe that to him. I owe that to her.
So, to the person who left that weird comment: I’m not mad, just confused. If you’ve ever truly loved a pet, you’d understand. These two mean the world to me. And I’m going to keep celebrating them, both in memory and in the present, because that’s what love looks like.
So yeah…bizarre comment noted. But anyway—here’s another clip of Chooch being the goodest boy and CiCi trying to copy him. Because that’s what we do here. 🐾❤️
