Snowy G.

This is my friend Snowy G. & it took me several months to process that he is really gone. He passed away in April of this year (2025) at the age of 16 & he is profoundly missed.
I’m honored to share a little with you about my furry friend:
Snowy was my friend’s animal companion. He was a member of her family from he was a pup in 2009.
Each time I visited the home, Snowy would wag his tail, jump around & made sounds as if he was telling me something. He greeted me with so much excitement every time that I feared he would pass out. He acted as if I was the only one in the room & would follow me to wherever I sat on the couch. Where I sat, that’s where he would stay beside me. I would lightly rub his head and before long he would fall asleep.
What I found amazing is that as I continued to rub Snowy’s head as he slept, the tension & stress of my demanding & challenging day would literally melt away.
Without going into details, I have a lot on my plate & although I cannot have an animal companion of my own, Snowy was my stress reducer @ just the right time. The funny thing is, I was not aware of how unrelaxed I was until he curled up beside me, I rubbed his head & the tension & stress would literally subside. Snowy & I had a bond, he was my gift from above & I’m grateful. Snowy, thank you for sensing when I needed to take time to breathe. Thank you for your unconditional love & devotion. Thanks for exuding joy & warmth. You enhanced the lives of those privileged to have known you.
