Brady


Every once in a while, you come across an animal that touches your heart. It might be a crazy canine, like Marley, or a clever horse like Misty, or a goofy cat like.... Garfield??? (Ok, so I'm not a "cat person," sorry!). I was lucky enough to have one of those special companionships with my weimaraner, Brady. He was my sweet 16 birthday present, and from the minute we brought him home, he was MINE. He went everywhere with me, slept in my bed, kissed me when I cried, and loved me with all his heart. I may not have been the best, most dotting dog-mom he deserved, but he certainly was the best dog ever, hands down.

Growing up, I always imagined having pictures taken on my wedding day, me in my dress, hugging my best friend. And I always thought what a great big "brother" Brady would be to my babies. Unfortunately, Brady passed away from brain cancer before my life reached any of those milestones. So today, on the anniversary of his passing, please just take a minute to hug your pets and remember your special friends.

  2. Seriously. The crying. I'm an emotional train wreck already Elyse. You need to put a disclaimer at the top of things like this. I didn't know Brady but I'm sure he was an awesome doggy. I know he's in doggy heaven right now watching over you and saying WTF Gibson! W.T.F.!! =)
