Eddie, there are truly no words that can take away the pain youβre feeling right now. Losing Chooch is more than losing a pet β itβs losing a companion, a best friend, a constant presence who loved you unconditionally. Chooch wasnβt just a dog to you; he was family, a bright light who brought joy to every corner of your life, even on your darkest days. His soul left paw prints not just on your heart, but on the hearts of all who followed your journey together.
We can only imagine how quiet the house feels now, how different things must be without his familiar presence. That silence can feel unbearable. But please know that in this moment of loss, you are not alone. So many people β friends, family, and even those who only knew Chooch through a screen β are thinking of you and holding you and CiCi close in their hearts. You’ve touched so many lives by simply sharing the love and bond you had with him.

Chooch had this remarkable way of making people smile. His eyes sparkled with personality, his loyalty to you was unwavering, and his little adventures with CiCi were a joy to witness. He was funny, expressive, and deeply loved β not just by you, but by a community who came to adore him. That love still surrounds you now.
We hope your loved ones are wrapping their arms around you, offering warmth, meals, memories, and quiet comfort. Lean into them when the grief feels too heavy. Let them remind you of the joy Chooch brought and the beautiful life you gave him in return. You were everything to him, and he knew he was safe and cherished every single day.
Eddie, may you feel the prayers being sent your way. May they lift you in your weakest moments, and may CiCi help carry your heart as she surely feels this loss, too. We’re all standing with you, sending love, light, and strength β and always remembering Chooch for the shining soul he was. ππΎ
