It’s never easy but I have to say that Otto passed away today at 8:39 PM EST. It was sudden and we think it might have been cancer. He was 8 years and 1 month old I think.

It is with a heavy heart that I share the sad news of Otto's passing. Today, at precisely 8:39 PM EST, Otto left us unexpectedly. It’s never easy to lose a beloved companion, and the suddenness of his departure has left us in shock. While we believe it may have been cancer that took him from us, we can only reflect on the life he lived and the love he brought into our lives.

Otto was more than just a pet; he was a cherished member of our family. At 8 years and 1 month old, Otto had filled our lives with countless memories, each one a testament to his loyal and gentle spirit. 

Whether it was his playful antics that brought laughter into our home, his comforting presence during difficult times, or the simple joy of his companionship, Otto had a way of making every day brighter.

The bond we shared with Otto was unique, one that only those who have loved and lost a pet can truly understand. His absence leaves a void that words cannot fully capture, 

but his memory will forever be etched in our hearts. We will miss his warm, knowing eyes, the sound of his paws on the floor, and the way he could make even the darkest day seem a little bit lighter.

As we mourn the loss of Otto, we also celebrate the life he lived. He gave us eight wonderful years of unconditional love and joy. Though he is no longer with us, his spirit will remain a part of our lives, guiding us through the sadness and reminding us of the love that never truly dies. Otto may be gone, but he will never be forgotten.
