Life has a way of breaking us and healing us in the most unexpected ways. When Chooch passed, it felt like a piece of your soul went with him. He wasn’t just a dog—he was family, a best friend, a light that made dark days brighter. His goofy expressions, loyal heart, and gentle spirit left a mark not only on your life, but on the hearts of everyone who followed his journey.
So when Cici came into your life, it didn’t feel random. It felt divine. Like Chooch had whispered to the universe, “Find someone who needs love—and give her to my family.” And somehow, there she was. A little soul needing care, warmth, and someone who understood what unconditional love really means. God knew your heart was still grieving, but He also knew it still had so much more to give.
The way Cici blends into your world so seamlessly is nothing short of a miracle. It’s not that she replaces Chooch—no one ever could. But she carries his spirit forward in her own way. Whether it’s the way she curls up beside you, the way she makes you laugh, or how she looks up at you like she’s known you forever—she is a continuation of the love Chooch started. A new chapter, but written with the same ink.
That framed collage, with Chooch’s warm, soulful eyes surrounded by happy memories, says it all. The handwritten note reminds us that legends never die. And it’s true. Chooch lives on in your stories, your photos, your tears, your laughter, and now—in the joy that Cici brings into your home.
What a blessing she is. She gets to experience the same kind of love Chooch was so lucky to have. She gets to be cuddled, celebrated, and protected. And most of all, she gets to be part of a family that understands how precious every moment is.
It’s amazing how you got her—but maybe it’s even more amazing that she got you.
Thank you for sharing both their journeys. Because in watching your love for Chooch and now Cici, the world remembers what loyalty, kindness, and healing look like.
Love like that never dies. It just finds a new way to shine.
