Happy heavenly birthday to my angel Pip! Can’t type much because my screen is all blurry, but I love these memories of when we took him to the beach for his 13th birthday, and he made it the sweetest trip ever. Last night I cried and Bobby snuffled in close to comfort me, and I told Pip, “I don’t love him instead of you, I love him because of you.” But he knows. Love you forever, Pippy. 🐾💗♾️

After doing everything humanly possible my daughter and her husband lost their 12 year old Cavachon to cancer this past May. They recently got another Cavachon because the house was too quiet. Happy Heavenly Birthday Pip! If you happen to run into Rosie let her know she will be loved and missed forever!!!❤️

Much love 💕

He’ll always be in your heart.
