“On Wednesday, November 20th, we had to say goodbye to our best friend Mr. Pancakes. There aren’t words or a tribute or a post that can convey how much we loved this dog.”
“Yes, he had an ear-splitting, decibel-pushing bark that could make your head want to explode and he used it way more often than was necessary (as a lot of you know), but, when we say this dog was the epitome of love it is not an exaggeration.”
“Mr. Pancakes you were taken from us too soon, but you were so loved, and you will be missed dearly. We were lucky to have you in our lives for a beautiful 8 years. We’ve told the boys that every time they look up at the stars to know you’re up there playing fetch and smiling down on us. You’ll forever be in our hearts.”
Often, when losing a loved one, many find it helpful finding new love in their lives. This was true of Graziadei, who recently shared a new addition to his family.
