with tears in my eyes, i wanted to update the people that knew and loved my dog Franklin. unfortunately I had to put him down yesterday afternoon.
he and i had the best 5 years together. from time at the beach (he loved digging in the sand), to the backyard, to sunbathing naps, to cuddling on the couch— he was always by my side.
losing a pet is always a part of the plan. you know when you adopt a dog that eventually you’ll have to say goodbye. i won’t lie though, i expected more years with frank than we got— which makes saying this goodbye feel premature and very jarring.
on monday he was his normal self. on tuesday, he slipped a disc in his lower lumbar spine which caused a rapid neurological decline. he was gone within 24 hours. a quick exit.
there is a bright side: i won’t have to go through the prolonged pain of seeing him age or deteriorate + lose functionality over time… the memories i have of him will always be of him in his prime.
the second photo in this carousel was taken monday night, our final night together in normalcy. now looking back, i believe he knew his fate here. I remember clocking that the moment we were sharing was unlike any we had in the past— so much so that i took this photo to memorialize it. his stare into my eyes was deeper and more intimate than ever before. i really believe now that he was communicating to me how much he loved our time together, cherishing our final moments and saying goodbye while he was pain free. his spinal issues began shortly after this photo was taken. heaven’s light was also captured here as it was beginning to call him home !
the third photo was taken in his final moments. smiling till the end 🥹
one of my most commonly used nicknames for Frank was “angel boy”— and now i’m depending on him living fully into that name.
see you on the other side my sweet boy— i know you’re up in the clouds you always loved admiring. 🕊️
if you have any stories of frank, i’d love to hear them via dm, comment, text or over coffee. i will cry as i hear them or read them and that’s ok !
