In lieu of flowers, give all your pups some extra love in honour of Charlie.
South Carolina, United States of America (05 October 2020) – For most owners, the pain of losing their pet is no less than that of losing a family member. Sallie Gregory-Hammett, who was left heartbroken after the demise of her first dog, Charlie, a golden retriever, decided to pen down an obituary for her canine friend.
“I wrote my dog an obituary because of course, I did. He was the best boy.”
Gregory-Hammett was devastated when Charlie died earlier this month after a five-month battle with lymphoma cancer. He had been with the family since he was 8 weeks old, and was only 7 when he passed away.
In the style of a newspaper obituary, the heartbroken mom wrote “Charlie’s favourite activities were walking, stick collecting, swimming, smiling and snoozing. If we’re being honest, Charlie loved everything life had to offer (except stairs. He hated stairs.)”
“More than anything else, Charlie loved his mom. He was always there to greet her with some kisses and a firm grip on her arm. He was her constant companion. There through heartache, moves, grief and joy.”
“Charlie spent his last days in his favourite place: The beach. He relaxed in the Charlie-sized holes he dug himself and dove straight into the oncoming waves. His last days were so happy and will be cherished forever.”
“We will think of him every time we open the peanut butter. We will miss him every time we see a sock on the floor or pass a stick on a walk. We will carry him with us everywhere.”
Speaking to CNN, Gregory-Hammett explains the obituary allowed her to look back on all the wonderful memories she has with Charlie.
“I also just wanted to have somewhere to remember all of his little quirks and the weird things about him.”
