Ollie

In February of 2019, our sweet rescue pup Ollie was diagnosed with terminal cancer. On a Tuesday she was our goofy, treat stealing cuddle muffin. On Wednesday we were told of her diagnosis by our vet and, on that Friday, Ollie crossed over the rainbow bridge in my arms. It was unexpected and we’re still feeling her loss.

On the night before Ollie passed, she slept in my lap while I worked on this illustration of her, stopping only for head scratches, kisses and to feed her cheese cubes. It’s probably not my best work but it’s meaningful to me. This was my way of trying to make something hard and painful into something a little better.

We love and miss you, Ollie girl. Thank you for choosing us as your people.
