"Let's make a deal. For your 18th birthday you can either have a tattoo or a chinchilla. Now if you pick the chinchilla, you have to wait until you're 21 for the tattoo"
I still remember this converstation I had with my dad & mom over luch in Pinole. I said yes to the chinchilla. Two months later I hide my first tatoo from my parents...but that's another story. Today, I recieved a call from Josh while I was in Vallejo visiting my parents that our little Stickshift has past away. Tears instantly filled my eyes & I drove back to Stockton. On the drive home I was hoping Stickshift was just asleep. But sadly, he wasn't. Stickshift was only 1 years old when I got him & he was so tiny with those solar-dish ears of his. I taught him how to use a little poty for when he had to go pee-pee. Taught him how to sit on my shoulders or my head whenever I walked around the house with him. He always barked at Jr. which made me love him more that he didn't like my brother, haha. My mom snuck him so many treats throughout the years that just shaking or opening any form of bag he will run to the front of his cage or to your feet thinking he was getting something yummy. He would always sit close to the edge of his cage whenever my dad & I watched our favorite shows together. Stickshift traveled to Portland with me when I first moved then here with Josh & I. He was our little boy. It was the start of our little family. My spoiled little round boy. I love him with all my heart & I have the tattoo of his cute little face to prove it! haha. I'm just happy to have had 12 years with him. He's always going to be my number one. <3

I love someone with Autism, Aspergers, Tourettes and someone with ADD. They color my world 🌎 and make my heart sing. Trace (the little one) asked if we could take Teagen out of this picture. Teagen loves photobombing!!! #mommywillalwaysloveyou #mommiesboys #autismawareness #aspergers_style #familylove #mycrazykids (at Universal Orlando Resort)
Pawsh and I are so sad to hear this unfortunate news. Alfie was one of Pawsh's favorite "spirit friends" -- watching them run and play together was truly a sight to behold. This special little soul was also one of our biggest supporters and joined us on a "tasteful" journey since our genesis just over a year ago. We'll always remember our first backyard tasting party... The pups had treats, and the girls (us) had wine..." 🌹💐🌺🌼🌷 #Repost @alfietherubycavalier "I am writing to you all with the heaviest heart and the deepest of devastation. Yesterday, Alfie passed away. We don't know why or what happened, but my belief is that he suffered a heart attack or seizure at home with me and I rushed him to the emergency vet. This heart stopped beating on the ride there in my arms. They revived him 5 times, but were unable to save him. I am beyond devastated and don't know how I will continue my life without him. I keep hoping that maybe this is just a nightmare that I'll wake up from. How could a healthy 1 and a half year old just die?! He changed my life in the best way possible and there could never be another dog that could replace him. His quirkiness, sensitivity and love he had for me and everyone around him is like no other. I feel like my heart has been shattered into millions of pieces and don't understand how life can be so unfair. He was the best possible dog for my life and I have no more words for what has been taken from me. Here's a picture we took for Halloween. It makes me smile in between sobs, so I wanted to post it. Hug your puppies so close today because I'll never have that chance again and you have no idea when life could change in a heartbeat. - Love Mom. You will forever be with me and I'll never forget you. I'll always love you". #RIPALFIE #mommywillalwaysloveyou #iwillmissyouforever
