There are no words deep or wide enough to capture what you meant to us. From the moment you padded into our lives, with those wide eyes and that quiet, royal grace, you became the heartbeat of our home — our privileged little princess, the one who could do no wrong and knew it. You didn’t just walk into the room. You arrived. You had presence, poise, and an uncanny way of making everyone around you feel softer, quieter, warmer.

You were never “just a dog.” You were family. You were ritual and routine. You were the quiet thump of paws that signaled the start of the day, the weight at the foot of the bed that made nighttime feel complete, the nose nudge that reminded us to take breaks, to breathe, to love deeper and slower. Every corner of our home was shaped by your presence — from your favorite sunlit spot by the window to the trail of toys you always managed to rearrange just right.

When you got sick, we fought beside you. Every vet visit, every quiet hour of watching and hoping — we did it all because you were worth it. You were our Luna. Our light in dark moments. Our steady companion through joy and pain. And though we tried everything, though our hearts begged the universe for more time, it wasn’t ours to keep. I’m so sorry we couldn’t fix what was broken. I’m so sorry love alone wasn’t enough to make you better. But please know, in those last moments, you were held. You were kissed. You were told, again and again, how much you were loved.

Now you’re gone, and the silence you leave behind is deafening. The house feels emptier. The rhythm of our days is off. We still expect to hear your footsteps, to catch your eyes following us from across the room. And yet, we know — or at least we choose to believe — that you’ve made it to the other side of the rainbow bridge. That you’re somewhere warm and safe, chasing lizards with that same sparkle in your eye, feeling young and free again. No more pain. No more struggle. Just joy.

Luna, thank you. For the years of loyalty. For your fierce affection. For every moment you made us laugh and every time you stayed by our side when we cried. You were magic. You are magic. And though life won’t ever be the same without you, we carry your pawprints in our hearts, etched deeper than time can touch.

Until we meet again, sweetheart. Run free. Chase those lizards. And know that love — real, fierce, everlasting love — follows you always.
