I met Browni when she was about 6-7 years old at the animal shelter. She was on the list to be euthanized the next day so they gave her to me for free, just had to pay the licensing fee. Best $7.50 I have ever spent. I felt an instant connection with her and spent the next 5 years loving her with every fiber of my being.
Browni was always there for me when I needed her the most. Through the tears, the smiles, the laughs, and the dark times she was always my light. She was always my shoulder to cry on, my protector, my best friend. There’s a million stories I could tell about my Browni Aurora, but the one that comes to mind is when we went to the dog park this past January. It was all icy, and I slipped and broke my ankle. The friend I was with called 911 since I couldn’t move, and we were a long way from the car. Browni laid with me on the ice and nuzzled her head underneath mine so my face didn’t get cold. When the cop pulled up, Browni ran over to him and started pulling his pantleg trying to lead him to me. She never left my side until she had to when I had to leave in an ambulance. Upon arriving home, she stayed at my side while I tried to move around the house, ready to catch me if I were to fall.

These past 24 hours without hearing her bark or her footsteps behind me have shattered my soul in more ways than I ever realized. I miss her with my whole heart. I know that I’ll see her again someday, but someday isn’t soon enough. I need my best friend here. But until then, I’ll move forward in her name and know that her head is on my shoulder whenever I need her. She may not be here anymore, but I know she is always with me — she has separation anxiety where else would she be? ❤️❤️

Rest in Paradise my sweet girl,
I love you to the moon and back x1,000,000.

Mama
