I haven’t been sharing much online lately because May was a really sad month for my family. We had to say goodbye to our 10 year old golden retriever, Hockley, who was Tristan’s best friend. Hockley seemed to be in excellent health and was quite active and youthful for his age up until the beginning of May when he suddenly collapsed on a walk with my mom. We rushed him to the emergency vet and they discovered a heart tumor. The vet cardiologist put him on some medication that soon had him bouncing around like his old self again, and we were grateful to have a couple more weeks with Hockley at home before his heart failed. His last couple weeks were busy with all his many friends and family and neighbours visiting him and showering him with his favourite things. We all miss him so much.

On dogblr we’ve had such a terrible time recently losing so many beloved dogs. My heart goes out to all of you and it has been a sort of comfort to see everyone supporting each other through everything. I’m grateful for this community where everyone is so understanding.

Now that I’ve had some time to process everything I think I will try to come back on Tumblr and Instagram more, but first I want to make this post to remember Hockley. I don’t post about him a lot because when we got him in 2012, he pretty quickly chose to be my mom’s dog and he followed he everywhere and was very sad if he had to go anywhere without her. This worked out fine because my mom stays at home anyway so the two of them were constant companions. Hockley was a pretty perfect family dog who loved everybody. Even when he was sick, he thought it was exciting that he kept getting to go to the vet and get attention from all the staff there. Hockley and Tristan both don’t like spending time with other dogs very much, but as Tristan grew up, the two of them became very good friends. I loved that the two of them could have intense play fights and I never had to worry about any issues between them, as they communicated so well. Hockley was also incredibly patient with children and spent the last years providing emotional support for our neighbour’s kids who were struggling while being out of school during COVID. It was truly amazing that even more than the professionals who tried to help the kids, Hockley could cheer and calm them by patiently sitting with them them or letting them show off his large repertoire of tricks. He knew how to roll over, play dead, retrieve almost anything you wanted, do beautiful heeling, and he could even do a handstand on the wall. Taking him to training class when he was younger introduced me to some amazing trainers who helped me begin my dog training career. However, he was one of those great family dogs who doesn’t really need much training as he spent his time mostly lying at my mom’s feet and enjoying bits of steak and cheese when she was cooking. He loved to go to the grocery store down the street with her and he would help her by carrying a cucumber or a bar of cheese in his mouth all the way home, which always got so much attention from people passing by. The only time Hockley caused trouble was when we took him to visit my grandparents and he would get so excited to ride in the car and see them. We are very grateful that we were able to take him to say goodbye to them and all the friends he made before the end. He was the most sweet and loving dog and our home is empty without him.
