🌈 Today marks exactly one year since Chimi left us.
💕 Of course we have countless pictures of her, but we chose this one because it’s probably our favorite ever. We simply love how happy and adorable she looks.
🫤 We don’t think there is a way to express how much we miss her, and it’s also difficult to explain how a little chubby dog with short legs changed so many things in our lives without ever saying a single word.
🙂 But her impact goes beyond that.
🐶 Because of Chimi, we later adopted Chori and, after she passed, Mila. We’ve also been making donations to animal rescues in her name to help keep her memory alive. So even though she is no longer physically with us, she’s still helping other animals in need.
🎁 This year, to properly honor her memory, we wanted to make a bigger donation. If you’ve recently visited the store, you’ve probably noticed that we’ve been raising funds through our Chimi Memorial Fundraiser and, to thank our friends and customers for their support, we’re also hosting a sweepstakes.
🗓️ You can participate (and donate) until the end of the month.
👶🏻 On July 1st, Serena will draw the winners.
🥇 Grand Prize: 6-Pack Gelato Flight.
🥈 Second Prize: 4-Pack Gelato Flight.
💚 We will also match donations up to $250.
🙏🏻 Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who has already donated and to everyone who chooses to participate over the next few days.
🥹 We miss Chimi every single day, but being able to do something positive in her memory makes this time of year a little easier.
