Bijoux Rezko

Bijoux, My dearest Bij…a diamond in every sense of the word. What can I say? You were destined to die in my arms. We mainly referred to you as Bij, and you were also named beauty, doux-doux, doux-di, jou-ji, bijouli and you were so dearly loved. Thank You for giving me nine (9) wonderful years of adventures and true companionship. I raised you since you were only a few months old, and I watched you become the best dog that I could have ever wished for. It’s incredible how much you impacted my personal and social development, and I truly believe that it was the mutual trust and respect that kept us deeply connected. You loved dogs of all races, color, size, and you always managed to get along with every single one-off personality. You were exceptional with kids of all ages, and so endearing with humans. Everybody who was lucky enough to meet you fell in love at first sight! If they were skeptics about pittbulls, you somehow found a way to win them over! Nobody, including myself has ever seen you show one sign of aggressiveness, never growling, never showing teeth and that was true until your last breath. If you were ever displeased, you chose tolerance and resilience instead. You turned out better than I could have ever imagined you to become; you’ve exceeded my expectations. Delicate blue nose pittbull, you had a beautiful soul and it was a pleasure to live with you. I’ll miss your anxiety attacks whenever the smoke detector went off, or if it were ever too windy outside. I’ll miss you resting your chin on my laps asking for cuddles everyday. I’ll miss watching Franky squatting down to greet you while you tucked your head between his legs with your happy tail. Mostly, I’ll miss you running towards me, up on your hind legs or circling around me every time I came back home from wherever I was. I have been told ‘que tu avais des yeux intelligents’. You were extremely aware and deep, proud, confident, dignified, obedient, happy and playful. Mamie, she whom is a tough critic and raised dogs for decades, said that you have earned the gold medal. You are a loss to me and everybody who has ever known you. Thank you for seeing me off into the new decade (2020). Your timing was calculated, as if you were telling me, ‘now, I’ll give up my spot for new beginnings in your life’. Thank you for everything and for giving us the comfort and peace that we needed after your departure. Franky and I know that you’re up there with our guardian angels watching over me and everybody who ever loved you! Rest in eternal peace wearing your gold medal, Bij...until we meet again. Love always, mama xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo P.S. ‘Bijoux, un être exceptionnel plein de douceur et d’amour à partager. -Mamie
