From the bottom of my heart—thank you. I never imagined how many people would come together to show so much love and support for Chooch. Your kindness, your messages, your memories, and even your tears have overwhelmed me in the most beautiful way. Every time I open a message, see a photo, or read a comment about how Chooch touched your life, it brings comfort in the hardest moments.
Chooch was more than just a dog—he was family. And somehow, he became part of your families too. Whether you knew him through videos, pictures, or stories, you embraced him like he was your own. That connection, that shared love, means everything to me.
To every one of you who’s reached out, left a comment, sent a card, or just kept us in your thoughts—thank you. You helped me carry the weight of loss. You reminded me I’m not alone in this. There’s a whole community of dog lovers who truly care.
A special thank you to @Blaine Weeks—thank you so much for the beautiful stone. When it arrived, I was stunned. It meant the world to me, and I’m so glad I figured out who sent it. Your thoughtful gesture gave me something to hold onto—literally. That stone is now a part of Chooch’s little memorial space, and it brings warmth every time I see it.
This journey with Chooch has been filled with joy, laughter, and now grief—but also so much love. I wouldn’t trade that for anything. You guys have shown me that the bond between humans and their pets, and even between strangers who share that bond, is one of the most powerful things in the world.
Love you all. Hug your pups for me. ❤️
