Jess here. 💜
Today is four years since I lost my Mimi girl. 💔 I honestly can’t believe it’s been that long because I still miss her just as much as I did the day I lost her.
I rescued Mimi in 2015, and she became my little sidekick pretty much immediately. She spent so much time with me at The Green Spot, so some of you might remember seeing her hanging out at the store.
She was very much MY girl. 🥹 She loved me so much, and I loved absolutely everything about her. She had the BEST personality. She was such a little character, and while she definitely preferred being with me, she was always happy to go say hi to people and other dogs when I told her to. And of course, everyone who met her loved her. How could you not?!
I have an album on my phone called “Mimi Favorites” with almost 3,000 pictures in it. I was always taking pictures of her because I thought everything she did was cute. Looking through them now makes me smile and cry at the same time.
I knew how lucky I was to have her. I really did. I loved every single minute with that little dog, and I wanted more than anything for our time together to never end.
Unfortunately, her little body was full of cancer, and eventually she was suffering. As much as I wanted to keep her here with me, I knew I couldn’t let her keep hurting. Having to say goodbye to her was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.
I don’t think I’ve ever really been the same since losing her. And honestly, neither has coming to work. She was such a big part of my days at the store, and I still miss having her there with me. It’s hard to explain how much one little dog can change your whole world.
I guess I just wanted to share a little bit about her today because she meant so much to me, and she was part of The Green Spot for so many years, too.
Four years without you, Mimi. I still wish you were here with me every single day. I love you so much, little girl. 💜
Love,
Jess
