my baby bear arya passed away yesterday morning. she had congestive heart failure and weakened kidneys from her medication on top of being 12 years old. at 4:30 am i woke up to her breathing hard and gave her water and propped her up until she was calmed down. i went back to bed thinking she would be ok, but when kevin and i woke up, we knew something was wrong. we found her already passed on, likely because of heart failure.
luckily we had known her time was gonna come this weekend and were already planning to put her down. we spent the day before taking car rides so she could feel the wind on her face one last time and gave her a delicious meal of rib eye steak. ultimately she passed in the comfort of her own home, with both of us by her side.
for those of you who don’t know, i met arya in 2020 when my relationship with kevin was getting serious enough that he introduced me to her; she was his baby after all and pretty soon after she became my baby too. she was my baby for only a year and a half but she was such a source of love and happiness in my life.
we loved her soft fur, her big eyes, her even bigger nose, her high prey drive, the way she hated the ocean but loved the sand, her love of sunbathing and rolling around in the grass… i could go on forever. she was absolutely perfect in every way and i will always see her in everything i do.
if you made it this far, thank you so much for reading. thank you for loving her if you knew her and indulging me if i ever sent you endless photos of her. she will always be my sweet baby arya ❤️
