*Handsome Boy/ Big Guy*
11/11/2013 – 02/15/2026
It is with profound gratitude that we reflect on the sacred journey of February 15, 2026, at 09:00 AM. We cradled our 12-year-old Pug close, whispering words of love, and gently escorted him into eternal bliss. As the heartbeat of our family, he orchestrated our daily rhythms, brought comfort, and infused our lives with purpose. By our side, he would lovingly attend, following with unshakeable devotion, bestowing boundless love. His radiant presence illuminated our home, fortifying our resolve and mending our hearts. In times of turmoil, he stood steadfast, healing emotional wounds with loyal companionship. On that morning at 06:00 AM, his trusting gaze conveyed his acceptance, despite the sorrow that accompanied our decision. Now, a peaceful stillness envelops our home, where memories of his joyful movements and gentle snores remain cherished treasures. Nevertheless, his legacy endures, a testament to 12 years of unconditional love, courage, and loyalty that transcends time. Farewell, dear handsome boy; you were our guiding light. Until we meet again. Yesterday, we bid farewell to Bailey *Bugaboo/Big Guy* Brantmeier, a moment of profound sorrow that will forever be etched in our hearts. Our home has become quieter, and the ache of your absence is felt deeply. Tears flow freely, a testament to the depth of our love for you. The girls, Mama and Olivia, and the boys, Squeaker and Simba, are searching for their beloved companion. Your dad and I know that our decision was guided by love, and though it was heart-wrenching, we find solace in knowing you are free from pain and suffering. Bailey, our love for you knows no bounds, and your absence leaves an unfillable void. Your paw prints will forever remain on our hearts, a reminder of the joy, love, and companionship you brought to our lives. We will cherish the memories of your unwavering loyalty and the happiness you brought us.
