My Vow To Ocean

My Vow To Ocean: 
My dream Boston was always a double blue eyed black masked fawn. A dog named Eclipse.
Along came Ocean. Well technically “Nellie.” Ick. 
I was presented the opportunity to own her. 
“I know you don’t like that much white or merle ” the lady said… but when I took one look at 
her, I wanted her here, with me. I had to have her. 
On October 15, 2022, Sean and I went to pick up the most beautiful, quirky girl ever. 
She was standoffish, of course, but with time she became mine. 
I try not to get too attached as I know what ultimately happens in my program. 
I retire all my dogs. 
I wish it didn’t have to be that way but it’s the way it is. 
Ocean produced 3 beautiful litters. 
Ocean’s Surprise: Pearl, Fenton, Coral, Triton 
Eat Your Veggies: Eggplant, Radish, Broccoli, Carrot, Onion 
The Eras Tour: Lover, Karma, Mastermind, Wildest Dreams, Willow
Three litters was enough, I loved that damn dog so much I wasn’t going to chance another 
litter. 
She was strange, odd, and all the things that retirement families would NOT want in a family
pet. 
I didn’t rehome her. She would live with me forever. She was the one exception to my rule. 
Ocean slept with me every night. 
She was quirky the entire time we had her. She barked at everyone, was scared to meet 
people. She would nip me in the butt sometimes when I came home from leaving her with 
Sean too long. 
She was my dog. I was her human.
I don’t think she was treated too good before me, but I treated her like a precious princess. 
So with that, I vowed I would never let that dog suffer at any time with me. 
And I had to keep that promise. I just wish it wouldn’t have come this soon. 
On Monday, January 19th, I made the most tough decision a dog owner ever has to make. 
I grabbed my Mom and we went to to the ER  that night so she could fall asleep forever, in my 
arms. 
So needless to say, I’m really a mess right now. 
That dog was the best 1192 days of my life.
