For those of you who have followed us on here for a long time and maybe don't follow me on snap or insta, Balto passed away on Saturday March 16, 2024. He was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma a month before and I made the decision to manage his pain and say goodbye before he had a bad day.
I miss him terribly, and I know that so many of you have loved and cared for him in some aspect over the years, its only right I let you know he's gone. I cannot tell you how much the outpouring of love and support from those that still follow me on other apps has meant.
My greatest comfort is knowing that he did a thousand things most dogs never get to do, he lived a long and healthy life, he left this plane of reality full of all his favorite foods, surrounded by the people and dogs who loved him, and now he is finally with Hubble, his very best friend.
I will forever miss his little husky chirps when he's happy and his bouncey zoomies he did every single time I came home, no matter how long I was gone. Ani is, as you can imagine, grieving as well. It is so difficult to see Ani without her soulmate. Part of me wishes that they had both decided to be ready and gone together to save her from the loss, but I am also glad that she is here so I am not sad by myself.
Balto went as he lived, loved fiercely and cuddled up in my lap.
