FIGO, 16 March 2025
To my dear Figo, ❤️ 🐾
Last sunday 16th of march 2025 was the saddest day of my life. I had to say goodbye to you my sweet Figo, my sweet doggy. You are so much more than a dog! You are my best friend, hairy child, my love, my sunshine, my fur baby, my family, my therapy dog and so much more! You are the best doggy in the world. You passed away in the morning on the 16th of March after we heard just 4 weeks ago that you had a brain tumor. We stil tried chemo but sadly it was too late. We are heartbroken, this pain is unbearable. We love you sooo much Figo and miss you soo much! You were almost 13 years with us and I wish you could have stayed forever and always with us! You would turn 13 years old on the 22nd of April, sadly you did not make it to 13. We made so many happy memories together, wherever you were you turned a smile on peoples faces, but especially on our faces. You lived in three countries, in Holland, Switzerland and Portugal and I wished we could spend your old days back in Holland, but sadly it was too late. You always took good care of us and I wished I could have protected you from time, because that is what we needed more, and from pain, but sadly i couldn’t. Your cuddles and kisses are the best in the world, you gave sooo much love, happiness and joy. We are super thankful and blessed for the time we have spend with you, I wished it would be forever! You learned us a lot about unconditional love, live by the day and just always be joyful and happy. You loved to walk on the beach, playing with other doggies, sitting with us on a terrace, and sitting on your couch on the balcony sunbathing and looking at the street and cats. You loved cheese, I could not open a package without you noticing, ofcourse you always got a piece. You were the best soccer player in the world, the best swimmer, you loved to go after bubbles and playing with balloons and chasing flies and cuddling with us or with your stuffed toy that we called Chouriço. You always loved to play and run, you loved music and you also loved to roll upside down in your sleeping basket asking for belly rubs, we just loved to be together!❤️ When you would look at me with your sweet loving eyes I knew that you were so much love, you only wanted the best for us. When we came home you were always at the door greeting us with so much love and enthusiasm, you did not know how fast you had to run to take a toy so we could play and we were always so happy to see each other. You are such a beautiful soul, you were always there for us, in happy moments but also in sad moments you were there to comfort us and give us happy feelings. Now the house feels so empty without you, we miss you sooo much and it hurts so much, this pain is unbearable. You are in Heaven now, happy and without pain and for sure running free 🐾 One day we will be with each other again but till then please know that your mommy Christel, daddy Francisco, your brother Xavi and your grandparents Richard and Leonie love you so much and miss you so much! You will be forever in our hearts and minds and we will never ever forget you sweet Figo. You will always bring a smile to our faces. What a beautiful dog you are inside and outside!
Be free and happy lief moppetje and thank you sooo much for everything you gave us ❤️ 🐾
With lots of love,
Your mommy Christel, daddy Francisco and brother Xavi
