If you've lost a beloved pet then we've walked in the same shoes.
When I began this blog in 2014, Ferris, our pure bred soft coated wheaten terrier was just four years old. We got him when he was 8 weeks old from a reputable breeder just north of us in Denver. All the puppies in the litter looked alike, as do most wheaten puppies, but Ferris was the smallest male in the litter and he made up for his size by becoming a big personality which we loved dearly.
There are so many memories in those early years and all the years really. Ferris was stubborn at times, which is a common trait to many terriers. Yet he was exceptionally cute and made many people smile with his perky ears and outgoing demeanor. Ferris was always ready to engage in life and be part of our lives.
The hardest part of grief is the quiet house that feels empty.
We lost him on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2024. He was fourteen and a half.
Ferris suffered from severe neck and back pain the last couple of years but was well managed with prescription medication and excellent veterinarian care. Unfortunately his pain became too much. We knew, we all knew it was time to let go.
This is the first time I've been able to write about him and let all of you who read this blog know about his passing. I've posted my favorite photos of him. We think of Ferris every day and will never forget our time with him.
