Sadie

We received your ashes, nose and paw prints in the mail today. Although we’re glad to have you home, it still doesn’t feel real.

Our sweet Sadie, you were just 7 years old, full of boundless love, energy, and joy. It breaks our hearts that you were taken from us so suddenly and unexpectedly on Sunday, August 11th.

That day, you were living your best life—running and playing endlessly with your husky siblings, giving the warmest kisses, curling up for your cozy naps, and lighting up with every belly rub. You were flinging your favorite toys in the air during your daily zoomies, completely unaware that something so devastating was lurking.

It’s so hard to comprehend how life can be so cruel, taking away a pup who had so much life left to live. You were young, healthy, strong, beautiful, and so incredibly loved. You were the heart of our family, the bond that held our husky pack together, and your absence is felt deeply by all of us.

I would give anything to have you back—to watch you play with your furry siblings, to see you chasing butterflies in the yard, to hold you just one more time, and to erase those awful final hours from our memories.

A part of me still hopes this is all just a terrible dream, and that I'll wake up to your kisses on my face in the morning. I love you, sweet girl.
