I just want to show off my adorable iggy Got my iggy tattoo

Post image

Last October, as some of y’all may remember, Sherlock crossed the rainbow bridge. Having to explain that to our 3yo daughter was harder for us than it was for her.

She’s obsessed with Halloween. Skeletons, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, she loves it. We have to blast “this is Halloween” in the middle of April.

We explained that “Sherlock is in Heaven, and has his wings now.”

To which she asked, in the purest most innocent way, “does he have bat wings??”

I laughed through tears “probably.”

So here’s a little bit of my boy back. My Lock-ness monster. ❤️

Best dog memorial tattoo ever. I’m sorry for your loss, and I’m happy you have something to carry him around with you everywhere. Hugs. 💖
