Aug 25, 2008 - Oct 1, 2024 🌈🐾🥺 We grew up together - I was 2 months into being in NYC, 8 weeks into filming MTV’s The Real World: Brooklyn & 4 months shy of my 21st b-day when I got Brooklyn. I called mom to tell her that I had gotten a dog while living in the Real World house. She didn’t believe it because the squeaky little bark she heard in the background sounded like a toy. When I called to tell her that Brooklyn had passed, she couldn’t believe it either. In between tears she said, “It was Devyn + Brooklyn against the world.”
 
Brookie, it was you & me against the world. Memories made in NYC, LA, FL, PA, Jersey, Kansas City, & countless others. Long-haul flights, cross-country moves, big heartbreaks, even bigger dreams, & oh so many laughs. That 1st year times were so tough that we shared a bag of granola for food because it was all I could afford. We drank lots of water and hoped that would be enough. We didn’t have much but we had each other. I was motivated to work hard & give you the great life you deserved. Fast forward to present day where you had everything - a private dog park, concierge vet, personal nutritionist, & every toy imaginable. You deserved the world. I’d give anything to be able to do that for you again, snuggle you, and tell you that I love you. My sweet soul pup, thank you for being my best friend, personal security, date interviewer - the minute you met Adam you knew he was the 1, my travel bud, my crumb catcher, my snuggle pup, my motivation. Thank you for being my absolute joy. When you left you took a piece of my heart with you. I will always carry a piece of you in mine. I am so grateful I got to be your mom.

It’s been 23 days, 21 hours, 48 minutes since you went to sleep in my arms one last time. I still haven’t moved your things. I’m not ready for that quite yet. I know you’re no longer in pain. I’m so glad you’re free. I’d be lying if I said that everything’s fine - knowing you’re no longer physically here with me. I miss seeing your face every morning. I miss your loud snores and kisses before bed. I look forward to doing all of that together once more - when we meet again. I love you Brooklyn. Always + Forever Sweet Boy💙

My sweet soul pup, thank you for being my best friend, personal security, date interviewer - the minute you met Adam you knew he was the 1, my travel bud, my crumb catcher, my snuggle pup, my motivation. Thank you for being my absolute joy. When you left you took a piece of my heart with you. I will always carry a piece of you in mine. I am so grateful I got to be your mom.

It’s been 23 days, 21 hours, 48 minutes since you went to sleep in my arms one last time. I still haven’t moved your things. I’m not ready for that quite yet. I know you’re no longer in pain. I’m so glad you’re free. I’d be lying if I said that everything’s fine - knowing you’re no longer physically here with me. I miss seeing your face every morning. I miss your loud snores and kisses before bed. I look forward to doing all of that together once more - when we meet again. I love you Brooklyn. Always + Forever Sweet Boy💙

Aug 25, 2008 - Oct 1, 2024 🌈🐾🥺 We grew up together - I was 2 months into being in NYC, 8 weeks into filming MTV’s The Real World: Brooklyn & 4 months shy of my 21st b-day when I got Brooklyn. I called mom to tell her that I had gotten a dog while living in the Real World house. She didn’t believe it because the squeaky little bark she heard in the background sounded like a toy. When I called to tell her that Brooklyn had passed, she couldn’t believe it either. In between tears she said, “It was Devyn + Brooklyn against the world.”
 
Brookie, it was you & me against the world. Memories made in NYC, LA, FL, PA, Jersey, Kansas City, & countless others. Long-haul flights, cross-country moves, big heartbreaks, even bigger dreams, & oh so many laughs. That 1st year times were so tough that we shared a bag of granola for food because it was all I could afford. We drank lots of water and hoped that would be enough. We didn’t have much but we had each other. I was motivated to work hard & give you the great life you deserved. Fast forward to present day where you had everything - a private dog park, concierge vet, personal nutritionist, & every toy imaginable. You deserved the world. I’d give anything to be able to do that for you again, snuggle you, and tell you that I love you.

During our wedding reception I felt moved to share this message. It wasn’t to anyone in particular it was just for whomever needed to hear it. Towards the end of the night, several people came up to me and told me how much they needed to hear that - including some of the great staff who were on hand working the wedding whom I had never met before.

So because a few people needed to hear it then, I’m leaving it here today. This is for anyone who needs a quick reminder in the fog (as we all do from time to time). It’s ok if you can’t see beyond what’s in front of you. Just when you think you can’t go any further..take one more step. You don’t know what great things are waiting for you on the other side of your current challenge. 🤍

Also, you are loved.

TLDR: Don’t give up.
