Saying Goodbye to My Best Friend: Weillow’s Journey and Final Goodbye
Yesterday, I had to make one of the hardest decisions of my life. I wanted someone else to make it for me, but deep down, I knew it had to be me.
**Weillow** has been my trusted companion for nearly **15 years**. I still remember the day I found her at work—a tiny, skinny puppy placed on my lap. She crawled up to me and refused to leave. In that moment, I knew she was meant to be mine. I took her straight to the vet, who wasn’t sure she would survive, but **Weillow was a fighter.**
Over the years, we did so much together. She **attended college** with me, **came to work**, and even **joined me on horseback rides**. She was by my side through every milestone—including the day I met Brent.
But cancer was slowly taking her from me. I did everything I could to keep her comfortable, but I realized I was holding on for my sake, not hers. **She deserved peace.** Yesterday, I helped her cross over the **Rainbow Bridge**, where she is now pain-free, running and playing with her best friend, Litha.
Rest in Peace, my little girl.
**Weillow** (October 2010 – March 27, 2025)
If you’ve ever had to make this difficult decision, you know how heartbreaking it is. Cherish every moment with your pets—they give us unconditional love and ask for so little in return.

Celebrating Weillow’s 14th Birthday: A Heartfelt Tribute to My Loyal Senior Rescue Dog
Today, we’re celebrating a very special birthday—our beloved Weillow turns 14! Though we don’t know her exact birthdate, we mark this day every Halloween in honor of her resilience and companionship. Happy Birthday, sweet girl!
As she’s grown older, Weillow has faced a few health battles. She now has cancer on her face, deals with hip issues, and is beginning to show signs of dementia. Yet, every day with her is a gift, and we’re treasuring this special milestone.
Weillow has been by my side through it all. She was with me during tough times, bright days, college classes, and even helped out at the Drop-In Center. She’s moved homes, states, and seasons of life with me—from being a rescued puppy, thin and fearful, to a loving companion who’s shared in every step of my journey.
From our first days together, building her trust and watching her spirit come alive, to our life now in New Mexico with Brent, Weillow has been my constant. Knowing our time together may be limited is difficult, but for now, we’re celebrating her life, her strength, and her unwavering love.
