**In Loving Memory of Pudgy**

Yesterday, we said goodbye to our beloved French Bulldog, Pudgy, a cherished member of our family who filled our lives with love and joy for 7 wonderful years.

Pudgy’s journey was marked by courage and resilience. Diagnosed with Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) at just 3 years old, he faced significant challenges, yet he never let them define him. Despite the pain he endured, Pudgy approached life with an unwavering spirit. His favorite doggy drag bag became a symbol of his strength, allowing him to explore the world around him with determination and grace.

Though Frenchies don’t have tails, Pudgy had a way of wagging his heart, showing his love through his gentle demeanor and affectionate cuddles. He wore his diapers with dignity and took his medications without complaint, always ready to brighten our days with his sweet presence.

Pudgy was more than just our pet; he was a source of comfort and joy for our children, a loyal companion to Biggie, and a true friend. The house feels emptier without his playful spirit, and we all miss the sound of his little piggie noises and his cheerful energy.

To our dear Pudgy, thank you for every moment of joy, every loving gaze, and every sweet cuddle. You taught us the true meaning of love and loyalty, and your memory will forever live on in our hearts. We miss you deeply and will cherish the time we had together until we meet again, sweet boy , my bibi ♥️🐾
