Jolly – January

Despite facing intense health struggles, Jolly remained his happy, loving self until the very end. He left this world doing his favorite thing – sleeping next to the people he loved after having some tasty snacks.

Jolly lived his life to the fullest whether he was loafing on the couch or passed out in his bed (his favorite past time) or blasting through mud puddles despite me begging him not to (he never met a puddle he wouldn’t happily launch himself into). He loved to feel sand between his toes at the beach while galloping with reckless abandon, jowls flapping in the wind, usually nearly taking out several unaware passersby (sorry to everyone who almost got bowled over but you can’t stop a boxer in full gallop mode).

I’m so grateful for the almost 10 years we had together, Jolly. Thank you for everything, bud.
