A close-up photo of Arwen, a chocolate Labrador Retriever with soulful brown eyes and a gentle, loving expression. Her soft fur glows warmly in the evening light, and a faint smile graces her grey-muzzled face as she looks up with trust and affection. The background is a gentle blur of green grass, allowing Arwen’s presence and spirit to shine as the clear focus. At the bottom of the image, glowing orange text reads: “Arwen *15/07/2013 – ✝︎ 04/07/2025.” This photo, taken on June 13th, 2025—hours before her human’s first hip surgery this year—captures one of the final moments of their shared journey. Arwen was more than a companion; she was a soulmate, a steady light through years of struggle and healing. Even as an aggressive heart tumor began to take her strength, her love never faded. She passed peacefully three weeks later, surrounded by love, with her human and her human’s mum at her side—forever cherished, forever missed, the best girl one could ever hope for.

I took this snap of my gall a few hours before my first hip surgery this year, Friday, July 13th.
Unfortunately, Arwen passed away 3 days after my second hip surgery, on July 4th. Just 11 days shy of celebrating her 12th birthday.
I struggle a lot with losing my gall, I still cry daily over her, and even though I know that a new gall will come into my life next year, nothing can make Arwen less special than she was...
She was the sweetest, most loving, caring, and forgiving...
