🌈🐾 A Very Special Tribute to My Best Friend, Shyla 🐾🌈
Some dogs come into our lives as pets… but Shyla was so much more than that. She was my best friend, my faithful companion, and a part of my heart for over 14 beautiful years. 💜
On August 6th, we had to say goodbye to our beautiful girl. What makes that day even more meaningful is that Shyla passed away on the birthday of Winston, our gorgeous Boxer who passed several years ago. Winston wasn't just another dog in our family—he was Shyla's best friend. ❤️
I'd like to think there was a reason she chose that day. Maybe somewhere over the Rainbow Bridge, Winston was waiting for his girl. 🌈🐾 I can just picture those two together again, like no time had passed at all.
Shyla had such a special place in our family and in Emston Maine C***s. She took her job with the C**nies VERY seriously! 😆 She loved to herd them around and keep everyone in line—and heaven help the C**nie who thought they were going to sneak over and steal one of Shyla's snacks! 😂🐶🐱
She watched babies grow, kept an eye on everyone, and was simply part of the everyday heartbeat of our home.
Fourteen years gives you thousands of memories, routines you don't even realize have become part of you, and a kind of companionship that is impossible to put completely into words.
Our home will never feel quite the same without her.
I miss you more than words can say, my beautiful Shyla. 💔 Thank you for over 14 years of unconditional love, loyalty, laughter, and memories.
Give Winston a big kiss for us. ❤️ I know your best friend was waiting for you.
Until we meet again, sweet girl. 🌈🪽🐾
You will forever be loved, forever be missed, and forever be a part of our family.
Shyla
