Hernandez Family Rottweilers

Tonight, we had to make the unbearable decision to help our sweet old girl, Kita, go to eternal rest. 💔🐾🌈

Her health had declined so rapidly, and when the vet did her initial evaluation tonight, we learned that on top of the mass spreading throughout her mammary glands, she also had a large amount of fluid around her lungs. As much as my heart wanted to keep her here with me, I knew I couldn’t ask my girl to keep fighting just because I wasn’t ready to let her go.

This was, without a doubt, one of the hardest things I have ever had to do.

Reyli drove over so he could get his final goodbyes in, and in true Kita-and-Reyli fashion, even in her final hours she made sure he remembered exactly who was still the boss. 😂 He was trying to help her move, and she quickly let him know she could handle it herself. That was our Kita right until the end, stubborn, strong, sassy, and completely herself. ❤️

We stayed with her through her final moments. She was surrounded by the people who loved her, hearing our voices and feeling our hands on her as she peacefully left this world. I can only pray that when she opened her eyes on the other side, Tank was right there waiting for his girl. 🐾🌈

And now we came home… to just Nala.

I cannot even put into words what that feels like.

How did we go from our healthy Rottie family of three to just one in barely a month? Tank and Kita were such a huge part of our home, our routines, our family, our lives. The silence they have left behind is deafening, and the heartbreak is absolutely immeasurable.

Kita was so much more than a dog. For almost 12 years, she was my best friend, my confidant, my shadow, my protector, and the “doghter” I never had. She loved me fiercely, and I loved her just as fiercely.

Tonight, I loved her enough to let her go. 💔

Run free, my beautiful old girl. No more pain. No more tired body. No more struggling to breathe. Go find Tank and raise some hell together again. ❤️🐾

Until we meet again, Kita.
You took a piece of my heart with you tonight.

Our Rottie family will never be the same. 🌈🐾💔

Today we brought our Big Daddy Tankers home. 💔🐾 I never imagined how much emptier our home could feel without our big guy in it. Seeing his paw prints and bringing his remains home made everything feel so final, and my heart just shattered all over again.

We miss you more than words could ever say, Tank. Thank you for 10½ years of unconditional love, loyalty, protection, and memories. You may no longer be beside us, but your paw prints are forever stamped on our hearts. 🐾💔 Until we meet again, Bubbas. 🌈❤️

💔🐾 It is with the most broken hearts that we make this post…

Our Big Daddy Tankers, our Tank, our Bubbas, passed away peacefully in his sleep last night, right next to his soulmate. 💔

Tank was truly the bestest boy ever. Even up until his very last breath, he was still taking care of his ladies and treating them like the queens they were to him. In true Tank fashion, he moved from the dog bed so Kita could have it, laid down beside her instead, and there, next to his girl, he peacefully fell into eternal rest. 🥺💔 I can’t think of a more fitting way for our sweet boy to leave this world, still loving and taking care of his family until the very end.

We were blessed with 10½ incredible years with him, and somehow, no amount of time could ever have been enough. We have so many joyful memories, so many laughs, so much love, and so many moments that will forever have Tank woven into them.

He wasn’t “just a dog.” He was our boy. Our family. Our protector. Our Big Daddy Tankers. 🐾❤️ He was so incredibly loved, and I hope he knew every single day just how much he meant to all of us.

Our home and our hearts are going to feel a little emptier without him, but the love and memories he gave us will stay with us forever.

Please give our family some time and grace to grieve. This is the first loss like this our family has experienced together, and our hearts are absolutely shattered.

Run free, Bubbas. 🌈🐾 Rest peacefully, our sweet boy. You will always and forever be OUR BIG DADDY TANKERS. Until we meet again… we love you more than you could have ever known. 💔🐾🌈
