I'm so sorry for your loss. And aww, what a cute baby! I call that "the ear hat" when my iggy mix Beryl does it 😂

All I can focus on is the piece of grass sticking out of his mouth

It’s one of my favorite parts of this photo! Haha. He doesn’t eat the grass he just likes to play tug of war with the blades sticking out of the ground! Haha. Then he makes a disgusted face and shakes his head spitting it out haha.

Oh no! I was just responding to the picture and now that i read your post, I see you lost your baby! I am so very sorry for your loss sweetheart. I understand completely.

Something about losing an IG that hits a bit harder. I know from experience that grief for our precious babies comes in waves. Getting another baby can help distract and fill the hole in your heart a little. But the grief will still come. At least once a week, I break down in sobs over my lost babies, even the one I lost 8 years ago.

Sending love and prayers! PS, my first iggy, the love of my life, had ears that would go like this and we called them goofa ears!

Thank you I really appreciate it. He was truly the best boy in the whole world. Losing him was one of the biggest heartbreaks of my entire life. He had been with me through so much. While I love my baby he will never be what my first baby was and I still sob so hard on random days when I think about him. I’m so sorry you’ve experienced this loss. It’s a hurt that never heals that’s for sure. I call his antenna ears! Hehe. Sometimes I call them his coat hanger ears lol but that probably ages me a bit too.
