She was the last name we signed on every birthday card.
She was our first baby, a therapist, a pillow, a big sister, a schoolmarm, a comedian, a party girl and a rebel. Definitely not a watchdog—she would have let burglars in and shown them where we kept the bacon and American cheese slices.
Always smiling even when she slept. She loved a good scratch and would lean into you if she liked you, though "if" is generous—she did this for basically everyone. She would jump into the pool immediately after being shampooed and dried (noooooo!) then she'd do her laps (backstroke - jk doggie paddle) then lie in the grass on her back doing bunny kicks with her tongue sticking out. That meant summer to me. 13 and a half years we were lucky to have with you.
Franny, Winnie, Mommy and I miss you. The house misses you.
The house is so quiet. The quiet is so loud. But that quiet is slowly being filled with stories about you and laughter amongst the sniffles. Thank you for everything. Gosh, we miss you so much. Goodnight, Gary.

Rest in Peace, Breslin

2010 - 2025

She went out in glory. A cheeseburger and McNuggets in her tummy. More sodium than the dead sea.

She licked clean a whole cup of peanut butter ice cream when we got to the vet.

Fed her a single hershey's "goodbye" kiss so she could know what it tasted like.

When they gave her the sedative, she was in the process of licking spray-canned cheese from a cutting board. Her limbs got heavy, and we helped her lie down on her side.

Then they gave her the final syringe, and her heart stopped soon after.

She died with the taste of highly processed spray-can cheese on her lips. I can think of no finer way to go.

We brought her home and buried her in the side pasture. My husband dug a great hole yesterday, along the path I take when I go berry picking.

It had been raining all morning, but by the time we got home, the sun was beginning to peek out.

We'll never forget you, my friend.
