This weekend we said goodbye to our family dog, Cookie 🤍
I got Cookie in high school after years of begging my parents for another puppy. Somehow, I convinced them it was a good idea… right before I left for college. She turned out to be the spunkiest, wildest pup you’ve ever met. Within three months, she had destroyed our couch, a bed, half my mom’s shoes, a Christmas tree, and our dining chairs 😂 But she’d flash the goofiest smile with ears twice her size, and you couldn’t help but love her.
When I left for school, she stayed with my grandpa most of the time and lived her farm dog dream life. An unlikely duo, but they became the best of friends and thanks to his training, the chewing stopped… mostly😌
She and Skip, my other childhood dog, spent years barking at every neighbor who walked by. And every time I came home from college, Cookie was there, yapping at me cooking in the kitchen, cuddle sessions during late night songwriting, and comforting me whenever I missed Scott in the early stages of us dating.
She even was my first ever viral video “I Let my Dog Control My Life”… catapulting my YouTube career 🥹
She was the sweetest girl. The best pup. Her life was too short, but it was full of adventure
rest easy cookie🤍 I hope you have all the couches to chew on in heaven 🤍
