We just lost our miniature schnauzer Muffin. She was nearly 11 and was suddenly ill and died the day after my dad's funeral. Having lost my mum at Christmas and my dad in a house fire just before my birthday it was the loss of Muffin that tipped me over the edge.
She was the best and friendliest dog. The only people she didn't like were drunks, racists and people wearing hats.
I'M SO SORRY ABOUT BIZZY! I'M SO GLAD SHE LIVED SUCH A GOOD LIFE WITH YOU! I LOVE YOU!
also, we just watched The Beekeeper last night on your recommendation and THIS IS ALL ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ON: "On Saturday night, we wanted to watch something stupid that would not make us feel any feelings (for reasons I promise I will reveal), so we threw on The Beekeeper, Jason Statham’s recent morality play (action movie) about the evils of defrauding the elderly. The film contains, as my dad would say, 'a lot of good beating up' and it doesn’t make a ton of sense, but it doesn’t feel like the movie is calling the audience stupid; it’s more like the movie invites us to be stupid."
it's really fun. thank you for sharing your silly joys and your sincere sorrows with us. i love you!
Oh Josh. What a lovely tribute to Bizzy, and my condolences to you and Maris for the pug-sized hole in your world left behind after this loss. What a grand time you three had!
Sending my condolences to you and Maris about Bizzy. I’ve loved hearing about her adventures and how you two gave her a great life. It’s so hard to say goodbye to pets, even when we know they have lived long lives filled with walks and treats.
How profound is the pet-shaped hole in our hearts <3 Much love to you all in this time of mourning. The grief is real. Our kitty got sick in June 2023, we put him to rest in January 2024, and I still find myself missing him often. When someone is a part of your life day-to-day for so long, the impact is clear.
What a beautiful tribute you've written to Bizzy, and what a glorious love-filled live you clearly made for her (and she for you two, as well). A loving farewell to her.
I'm sorry that Bizzy is gone. You gave her the best 8 years of her life, and I am sure happy you were there for her. Sending love and thoughts from here.
May your feelings of grief, sadness, & wonderful memories waft through you & Maris as you deal with the passing of Bizzy. You were all richer for knowing each other.
I'm so sorry, Josh and Maris. You two gave Bizzy a great life, and I'm glad she had such a long time with you two. I loved your bit about inserting her name into rap songs. I enjoyed the story in your book about the weird guy you adopted her from, too! Rest in peace, sweet little pug.
Sorry about Bizzy.

I don't know you, Steven, but I'm sending you a lot of love. Sounds like you could use it.
That's so kind, thank you. X

Aw, I'm so sorry to hear about Bizzy. You were all very lucky to be in each other's lives!
Farewell Bizzy! So sorry you're losing your lovely friend. The only downside to dogs is their too brief lifespans.
Sending you guys lots of love. Bizzy is A Very Good Girl.
Josh, what a tribute to Bizzy. I know she loved you just as much as you loved her. May her memory be a blessing.
