Dexter (Dex)
2012 - 2019
Dexter was such a fun loving boy. He was loyal and happy and loved to sit on you, lay with you, as though he was a 3 pound purse dog rather than a 100+ pound horse :)
He was basically my first fur child, and grew up along side my son who is now 5. Dexter was a companion and friend to me through many life changes.
He was a constant and he meant the world to me. Life got in the way of our journey together the last couple years. I was forced to give him up into the care of a friend of mine who had another dog who could be a companion to him. With living and working arrangements, I felt I was providing him a better life with someone else who could provide him constant companionship and care. I was still involved, visited often, paid for vet bills, made sure he always had what was needed. The only way I could live with myself giving him up was knowing that he was happy and cared for and that he had that companionship that I couldn’t offer anymore. I wish I could change the last couple years and build more memories with Dexter. If only we could peek into the future, our decisions would be so different. I’ll never get over the hurt and guilt I feel that I didn’t do things differently, but I have to look at it as, it was what was best for him.
I’ll love you forever Dex, you’ll always be the best friend I’ve ever had. ❤️❤️
