Yesterday we let go of our beloved dog Bubblegum. It was sad and difficult but we got to say goodbye with no regrets. We had an amazing life together and it was his time.

I'm so grateful to have had him in my life. I'm grateful to Austin Dog Rescue for giving him a chance, to Austin Vet Care, CVCA, and AVES for taking such good care of him.

There are countless memories I could tell of the giant pitbull in the pink harness. I'll be sharing them the rest of my life, he was truly special. He loved everyone, he never met a stranger. His tail was always going and he just wanted to love. He loved adults, little kids, babies, he was so gentle with puppies. People would often ask to have him be the first dog that their young children met.

Bubblegum showed me that love is not finite and that it doesn't matter what hardships you've seen you can still radiate joy. Thank you for letting us be your people mister. We love you Bub.
