"Tonight, I had to say goodbye to my best buddy, my good boy, my Buggity Bug. He passed away peacefully in my arms. Lois was there along with my son, daughter, and granddaughter. We gave him a piece of chocolate because no dog should leave this world without knowing the taste of chocolate. He was such a good boy and I will miss him tremendously. I appreciate everyone who has reached out and has sent my family and I messages. We appreciate it more than you know. Love your dogs. We only have them for a little while. #loveyourdogs," he wrote in the post's caption.
