I got the call that I can pick up Riot's ashes. As much as I want them home, I'm devastated. I kept hoping this was a terrible dream.

That is the part that makes his passing so painfully real, my heart aches for you.
His sweet soul and all your memories together are always shining bright though, and will carry you through the terrible grief that feels never ending. Try to recall those times to ease the pain, if you can. It’s hard, I know. But it’s what your sweet boy wants, to make you smile again.
I’m so sorry.

Adriana, I am so sorry to hear of Riot's passing. Our furbabies are truly family, and I know that you are heartbroken right now. In time, I hope that you will be able to think of Riot and smile. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Riot lost his leg a year ago today. I honestly believed he was going to make it this far. It's been over 5 months, and I still miss him so much. I'm so grateful for Czar and the puppies. I can only hope that Czar makes it longer. In a few weeks, he will have.

It is easy to see how over the moon Riot was in love with you, and you him. Even though his life was cut short, what a life he had!
on the 5th it will be three months since Brownie passed. Sometimes it seems like yesterday and sometimes like an eternity.
Czar is doing awesome so just concentrate on that, and Czar has Angel Riot watching over him....
Sending positive thoughts....
My Beautiful Beloved Brownie was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma on February 26, 2019. With all odds against him he lived an additional one year and eight days with amputation, love, and prayer. I was honored to be his mom, and I have never been so proud! He will live forever in my Heart!

Wow I can't believe it's been a year. I'm so sorry, these anniversaries are so hard.
After all that you and Czar have been through since Riot passed, I'm certain that somewhere, he watching and so proud of how you both rose to the occasion to kick cancer's butt.
Lots of love coming your way.
