Yesterday(April 17, 2026), we said goodbye to our best friend, Albus Percival Wolfric Brian Dumbledore Heath. We don't know much about where he lived before he was rescued, but we know it wasn't good. After he came into our lives, he gave us ten long years of love. Last year, he had a seizure and we didn't know if he was even going to make it through the night. But that entire time, he was so brave and so strong. He got through that difficult night and every day since was an absolute blessing. And he gave us another year of adventures. He got to live a very full life. He was the only dog in his class that could do his rally training off-leash. He's the only dog that I know that got to be a ring-bearer at his owner's wedding. He got to go on so many fun adventures. But over these last few days, his health started to decline. I don't know how my mom found the strength to make that phone call to the vet. It's not something anyone should have to do. It was the right decision, though. And he got to spend one last night with my sister, his favorite person in the whole world. He was surrounded by so much love in his last few days. Dogs are truly magical creatures. Albus gave us ten years of the best days of our lives, and one day of the worst. I've probably cried more in the past 48 hours than in my entire life before this. There was no other dog like him. I'm exceptionally thankful for the time we got to spend with Albus. He was with me through the most important years of my life. There's so much more I could say about him. How he loved to wear clothes, sweaters, and bandannas. How he loved Iron Man. How excited he would be when my parents would come home that he would practically clear the doorknob when jumping at the back door. How much he loved blueberry muffins. Everyone who met him loved him, and he gave that love right back every time. When he passed, he left behind a piece of himself with us. And we will hold that piece close and cherish it for the rest of our lives. He's left on his own adventure without us now, one where he can wear all the clothes he wants, and eat all the blueberry muffins he can dream of. But I'm sure we'll see him again someday. Thank you so much for being our best friend, Albus. We'll always love you.
