I decided to write a little update post today because today has been a very sad day for my family. We unfortunately lost our beloved dog, Prince. He was my bestfriend, I met him when he was first brought into our family, he was my first ever pet. He had a peaceful pass, he had all of his family around him but was still in a lot of pain and we have decided that it was old age as he was 13 and boxer breeds only live to the age of 8. 

Prince was a gorgeous dog, a lot bigger than your average boxer, but full of love to give. He would wipe drool on everyone after he had, had a drink or went for a walk. Ill miss telling him off for sunbathing outside because he will end up sunburnt. Coming home will be the worst as he was the first one to greet you, or he will be sitting on the highest step just so he could see you pull up on the drive through the window. I will apologise for dressing him in ridiculous outfits for Halloween or for any occasion to be honest. Lastly I will miss the moments when I am upset in my room and you climb on my bed and lay down. 

I didn't mean for this to be a sad blog post. I wanted to take something from this moment. I prepared a lot for the passing of Prince. I knew that one day he would pass and I will come home to a lonely house. But from this experience I have realised that you can prepare as much as you like, but when it comes to the inevitable, it hurts and it destroys you. You realise that all your preparation for that moment was useless because nothing exceeds to the actually moment itself.  

I wouldn't change anything about this whole experience other than to take more pictures of him when he was alive. Take pictures of the simple thing  he did because when they are gone they are the ones you remember the most. 

This is a message to my older self. Take more pictures of everything, even if you think its excessive at the time, you will look back on those pictures years after and be so thankful that you took them. However please remember to live your life and don't spend it constantly behind the camera screen. Life is to short to miss out on stuff, sometimes a memory in your head is more precious than a photo on a SD card. 

Thank you for reading, i promise the next post will be a lot happier.
