It is with heavy hearts that we had to say goodbye to our precious Addie. She passed away on Sunday, January 8, 2023, leaving a hole in our lives that can never be filled.

We first met Addie at the Animal Rescue League of Iowa, where she was a cute and bubbly puppy who immediately captured our hearts. From the moment we brought her home, she was immediately a part of our family. She was always happy to be around anyone who would pet her, and her big sister Skylar quickly became her best friend. She spent her early days sunbathing, playing with Skylar and chasing bunnies, and we would often laugh at the crazy adventures her nose would lead her on.

When we moved to California, Addie truly came into her own. She loved everything about the California lifestyle – going to brunch, daily walks, hiking, sunshine, and being outside with us. She was a natural at hiking and loved exploring the great outdoors. There weren’t many places she wasn’t by Lindsay’s side, usually in matching outfits. Addie thought she, herself, was pretty special and made sure everyone she encountered knew it.

Addie loved all her friends she got to play with at Park-a-Pup. She would get showered with love and treats when she walked in the door. We always knew she was in good hands and she enjoyed being there. She loved going into the city for an adventure, heading to Napa for the day or looking forward to the next vacation she got to travel to and explore.

We would like to thank Dr. Press and all the amazing staff at Twin Cities Vet Hospital for the absolutely wonderful care they have given Addie over the years. She truly loved going to the vet and was always welcomed with open arms and a treat or two. We can’t thank you enough for making our fur baby as healthy and happy as could be over the years.

During this difficult time, we are also grateful for the care and support provided by Dr. Sahaghian, Lolly, and the staff at A Gentle Rest. When we called on Sunday, they were so calm, comforting, and knowledgeable in walking us through Addie’s final steps. Dr. Sahaghian was gentle and kind, making sure that not only were we able to handle the process, but that Addie was at ease and loved.

Addie was more than just a pet to us, she was a member of our family and our best friend. We are so grateful for the 16 amazing years we got to spend with her and will miss her dearly. Addie, you will forever be in our hearts and we know we will see you again. Rest in peace, our sweet and beautiful Addie. 4/20/2007 – 1/8/2023.
