I recently lost someone very close to me.

I spent yesterday recovering, keeping myself distracted, but today I really wanted to make something for her and to share her memory with you all.

Ladybug was a sweet Shih Tzu who came to us from the streets around 7 years ago. She was this fluffy little bundle of love and I adored her from the first moment I saw her. I remember crying with joy when I came home from school one day to find her at our home with her big, lively brown eyes and waggly tail. She lived many years with us and made me the happiest dog parent, making me smile even during the darkest times. She was always at my side, and at night she would sleep beside me.

Ladybug loved hugs, apples, and people. She was small, but full of so much love to give everyone she met.

Even as she reached old age and heart failure began, she continued to give people smiles with her loving nature. She was eager to spread her love and joy to the end, and the world won't be the same without her.

I'll love and miss her forever
