CINDY The Baboon

 

Hello world,

A message from Ruben Namibia and my family….

It is with the heaviest hearts that we share the news that Cindy passed away today.

Today is one of the most heartbreaking days of our lives as we said goodbye to a sister, a beloved family member, and a mother to our animals.

Over the last while, Cindy had been struggling. She suffered from severe heart failure, which led to repeated episodes of pulmonary edema — fluid building up in her lungs. Despite intensive veterinary care, medication, oxygen, and constant monitoring, her heart and lungs could no longer cope.

After her third serious attack, and with the guidance of the vet, we made the most heartbreaking decision to let her go peacefully, to spare her any further suffering. In her final moments, we were holding her hand, speaking to her, and surrounding her with love.

Cindy was deeply loved and cared for every single day of her life. She will be loved forever, and the beautiful memories we shared with her will stay in our hearts always.

We want to thank every single one of you for the overwhelming support, kindness, and love you showed Cindy and us, especially during the tough times. It meant more than words can ever express.

We, and all of her animal family, will miss her presence deeply.

Long past time for me to post this again. Copy and keep in your files, it's info the government doesn't knock itself out to share, especially under Republican rule.

 

 

 

 

Raffie — the rescued American bulldog fans affectionately knew as “Mr. One Toof” — died suddenly from a heart attack on Christmas Eve while at a doggie daycare.

His owner, Maren Peeters (known online as bundleofbullies), shared the heartbreaking news and thanked followers for their love.

Staff tried canine CPR, and another one of her dogs was taken to a vet.

Peeters says she will keep posting with her other pups to honor Raffie’s memory.

A Letter from Mr. One Tooth

To the Hearts That Broke Without

Ever Meeting Me

Hello, my beautiful strangers,

I know something about you—you cried for me, even though we never met.

You never heard my footsteps, never felt my nose on your hand… yet your heart knew me.

That kind of love doesn’t need permission.

Please don’t question your tears.

They reached me. They wrapped around me. They followed me all the way to Doggie Heaven.

I didn’t leave because I was forgotten.

I left because I was surrounded—by prayers, by kindness, by hearts that chose to care.

Up here, I can run now. I can breathe.

And yes… I still have my one tooth, and I smile with it proudly.

There is no pain here, only peace.

If your chest aches, that’s me reminding you: love never needed proximity.

If you feel changed by my passing, that’s because compassion always costs something.

Thank you for seeing me.

Thank you for mourning a dog you never touched.

The world is gentler because of people like you.

Please keep loving. Keep caring. Keep rescuing.

That is how my story continues.

With a wag that never stops,

Mr. One Tooth
