Brillo

The day we met, was unexpected but perfect. We went to Plymouth meeting petsmart for something for our betta fish and as always, I wanted to see the dogs up for adoption. There was a small mini poodle screaming in the front of his kennel, scared and sad. I told Jeff we had to meet him. We met him after another family who was very interested but they had other dogs at home. They couldn’t return to bring their other dogs to meet Brillo and we were given then opportunity to meet him. He sat with us and snuggled and it was clear it was love at first sight. The adoption worker asked if we were serious about him and we looked at each other and said yes. I had to uber home and remember shaking i was so excited. Jeff stayed at petsmart buying everything we needed. And that was that, he was ours

✎ What do you remember from your last day together?
Brillo threw up at 4:30am and i just got up for the gym while Jeff wiped it. We took him out in the backyard and he was acting normal. I said goodbye to him before leaving for work like always not knowing that today it was going to be the last time

✎ How did they feel about bath time?
All the zoomies across the whole floor while he was wet. It was adorable

✎ Did they come to you in a dream?
I think he came to Dominic last night, i woke up in the middle of the night and Dominic was talking in his sleep and he said “my Brillo”

✎ How did you celebrate their birthday?
Last year we had a small dog cake for him and the kids and Jeff and i all sang happy birthday to him and blew out a candle. The kids were right next to him petting his head and kissing it. We didn’t know it was the last time we would celebrate that day with him :(

✎ How did they act on car rides?
Snuggled up on my lap the entire time <3 unless i was eating food in which case it was acrobatics trying to not over share my food lol
