Yesterday I had to say goodbye to my sweet Polly Pocket. She gave us over 11 years of love and undying devotion. I always said she was the goofiest looking girl- big men would come up and say how beautiful she was and little kids would comment that she had the biggest head they’d ever seen- but through it all she was loving and such a key part of our family. She came to us as Polly but we added the Pocket right away to remind people she was gentle despite her appearance.
Most people didn’t get to know Polly well because she was so anxious around new people and dogs. But for those people who did get to know her, she was fiercely loyal once she decided she loved you and would insist on tummy rubs and couch cuddles. Even my mom, who was initially terrified of Polly, came to adore her and would always tell her friends that Polly was the smartest and her favorite. She was also a blood donor at UC Davis and made 19 donations over the years to help save other dogs’ lives.
I always appreciate my patients and their families accepting me into their lives so thank you for letting me share this special part of my family that we’re now missing. Please understand if it’s a bit harder for me in the office the next few weeks.
Thank you for being our special girl, Polly. We love you everything and your memory will always be a blessing to us. Rest easy, sweet girl.
