On January 17th, 2026, I lost my little dog Albert — my greatest and truest friend, a sweet boy who gave me 16.5 years of unconditional love. I held him in my arms as he took his last breath, and in that moment my heart broke in ways I never imagined. From the very beginning, he never left my side. He followed me everywhere, waited for me each day to come home, and slept snuggled beside me every night.
Life feels so different without him. The house is quieter, the days feel heavier, and there’s an emptiness that can’t be filled. When you love this deeply, you sign up for both the greatest joy and the deepest heartache — and even knowing that doesn’t make saying goodbye any easier. I still can’t believe he’s gone.
Albert’s love was constant, pure, and unconditional. He was my heart and soul, my protector, and my comfort. Through every trial, every tear, and every moment of hurt, he was always there for me, defending me and loving me without question.
I miss him more than words can express. The pain runs deep, but I know his love will stay with me forever.
“If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.”
I will always love you, Albert. You will forever be a part of me.
