Saying Goodbye (What a Wonderful World)

Yesterday I had to say goodbye to my best friend. Maple passed away peacefully during the night, while I held her in my arms. We have spent every moment together for over 12 years, doing everything together. I adopted her from a rescue shelter and the first time we met she tackled me, leaping into my arms, wagging her tail so hard and with a smiling face full of love. We went on so many adventures together, and she was always there for me with her unconditional love through difficult times. Music helped to soothe and comfort her, especially when she was feeling anxious during thunderstorms and fireworks so I would play for her to help calm her down. She would lay beside me with her head in my lap and listen to the guitar until she fell asleep. I feel so lucky to have had her in my life, the bond we shared is indescribable and my heart is aching.

There are a lot of videos that I filmed with Maple which I never posted on YouTube, or videos I didn't finish editing, that I might release in the future. I hope that some of the moments we shared together over the years have helped to bring some joy or comfort to you. Thank you for the love and support you have shown us.

I love you Maple.

When he starts playing, she smiles.
When he finishes playing, she looks at his face.
When he pats her, she wags her tail.
What a beautiful moment, what a pure relationship.

When he starts to play, she starts to smile.

Dogs: they take away our tears for twelve years, then they give all of them back at once.

Every once in a while, I come back and Maple always reminds me that goodbyes don't need to be just sad.

Her eyes and the way she looked at you. Absolute love and adoration.

Reminds me of my border collie Indiana. 12 years since she left and I still cry for her.

Tonight's special: pure, undistilled, unfiltered pain

the moment he stops playing her eyes light up because she knows she’s about to get pet

rest in peace maple.

We got our dog in 1997. Just showed up in our backyard one day. She was with us for 11 years. Today was the 16th anniversary of her death. She's been dead now longer than she was alive. I have literally never gone one day without thinking of her. ❤😢

Even though I've never met this dog, it still hurts to know she's gone

She's such a sweetheart. Dogs aren't around long enough and it's a shame.
