Our Faithful Companion
Elliott was more than just a pet - Elliott was a faithful companion. He was a bossy dog who often became the alpha in every situation. Elliott was always a gentle, kind, and loving dog. He loved toy ducks, chasing cats, swimming, camping, ice cream, car rides, and watching TV. Elliott brought smiles and laughter to everyone who met him. He will always be remembered as a good boy.
Elliott had a love for being the boss, whether it was keeping his German Shepherd brother Renzo from having toys, stealing Renzo's bones and toys, or demanding that it was bedtime by standing in the bedroom barking non-stop.
On Tuesday, October the 7th in 2025, Elliott began showing signs of distress. By the early evening, he was rushed to Pet's ER. With fluids, he was once again walking on his own but showing signs of distress. Around 11:00 PM on October 7th, I received a call that I needed to return. At this time, we believe that Elliott had a stroke. He had become immobile and was not fully responsive. Elliott's eyes watched me as I gave him pets and talked to him. Around 12:10 AM, his breathing changed and two minutes later, Elliott passed away peacefully. He was around 12 years old.
