🩷 Alabama 🩷 To know her was to love her and today the rainbow 🌈 bridge gained a precious fur baby. This is one of the hardest losses of my life!!!

You know what is awful about losing your soul mate that is your dog? It's that dogs are better than most people. Period. Not sorry. They just are. Loyal. Loving. They don't hurt you, hold grudges or do anything but provide companionship and and comfort and happiness. Total devotion. If only most people could be more like our dogs the world would be a better place.

Alabama was and will always be the best most unique little being I have ever known. Luke was saying today how she was my absolute shadow, and she was. Everywhere I went, there she was. In the makeup studio.... there she was. Under my feet, taking a bath..... and now I am just laying here in shock.

Almost every one of my clients knows Alabama . She has laid in my makeup studio and watched me apply makeup to 1,000s of women. Grieving clients, dog lovers, and teens and kids would hold her or even take selfies with her. She was one of a kind.

Alabama is not named after the state. She was named after Patricia Arquette's character in my favorite movie the 90's action romance thriller "TRUE ROMANCE".

She lived 15 long years. So I just wanted to share because so many people love and know Alabama.

I knew this morning it wasn't looking good by how she was when we got up. I brought her in her spot in the makeup room where she always lays and would sleep or watch me work. I finished my client. About ten minutes later I said "Luke, she's really not looking good...it's bad." We were about to call to go take her to be put down. I was holding her and telling her how much I love her. She looked at me one last time with those eyes of hers and she literally drew her last breathe right here at home. She wanted to go while she was here at home.

My heart hurts so badly but the memories of her are so amazing and will never be forgotten.
