I am so very sorry for your loss of Chooch. I have to say I’ve never seen such a bond. He looked at you with such unconditional love in his eyes. Enough to fill your heart forever. He could not have ever found a better dog dad than you. Cici came into your life for this very reason. She will keep Chooch’s memories open for you. Memories of the 3 of you. Please know how many people you and your 2 beautiful babies have touched. Love and prayers!!
Losing a beloved pet is never easy, but when that pet is as special as Chooch, the loss feels even deeper. Chooch wasn’t just a dog—he was your soul companion, your steady shadow, your joy on the hard days, and the silent listener when you needed someone most. The bond the two of you shared was unlike anything most people ever witness. You could see it in his eyes, that unwavering, all-consuming love that spoke louder than words ever could. His gaze was filled with trust, loyalty, and devotion, the kind that only comes from a life filled with shared adventures, quiet moments, and unconditional companionship.
Anyone who had the privilege of seeing you and Chooch together could feel the deep connection you had. It was something rare and beautiful. You gave him a life full of love, warmth, and happiness. He knew he was safe, cherished, and adored every single day. And in return, he gave you every part of his heart. It’s a bond that doesn’t fade—it lives on in memories, in photographs, in quiet mornings when you still half-expect to hear his paws padding across the floor.
And then there’s Cici—your sweet, gentle girl who came into your life at exactly the right time. It’s no coincidence. She was meant to be part of your story, part of Chooch’s story. She carries the same loving spirit, and though her presence is different, it’s just as healing. She will be your anchor, your comfort, and your bridge to the beautiful memories the three of you created. She will keep Chooch close in spirit, helping you smile again even through the tears.
Please don’t ever doubt how much your story—yours, Chooch’s, and Cici’s—has touched those around you. The way you loved your dogs, the way you cared for them, celebrated them, and shared their personalities with the world—it’s left a mark on many hearts. You’ve shown what it means to be a true dog dad. You’ve shown what it means to love fully and without hesitation.
Grief is love’s echo, and while it may hurt now, that pain is a reminder of how much Chooch meant, and how deeply you loved him. That kind of love doesn’t end—it transforms. It becomes part of who you are.
May you find comfort in knowing that Chooch felt every ounce of your love every day of his life. And may Cici continue to bring light to your heart as you honor the legacy of the beautiful bond you all shared.
Love and prayers, always.
