Died:November 19, 2021
In his home in New York City, with his loving humans		 
We found each other on an Easter Sunday. We got some coffee and took a walk past Bideawee not expecting it to be open and especially not expecting them to have any puppies. BUT, there he was!!!! I fell in love with him the moment I saw him trot into the room showing off his toy.  I made poor David go take care of all the arrangements while I stayed there with Maru. I was afraid that if we left, someone else might come to take him.

There are not enough words to describe  our Maru. He was (still is) my best friend, constant companion, furry child and love of my life -yes David knows this :-) My love for Maru is the most intense feeling I have ever experienced. We were  and still are so deeply connected. Every moment and experience with him was made better by sharing it with him.  

In the almost 13 years that Maru shared our lives, he created a village. There are so many wonderful people who helped support, nurture and make Maru's live as amazing  as it was. We call them team Maru and you all know who you are. Team Maru forever!!

Maru lives on in us. How could he not.  He was such a force of nature. He lived big  loved big, played big and got into trouble big too.  He could be the sweetest most loveable creature on the planet as well as the mischievous and stubborn. He was an angel and a bully all in one and I loved every single thing about him (even those super stinky farts.) 

Maruru,  Maru, Ruru, Rooster, Ru, Maruboo, Mushy moo moo..... You have taught me the meaning of unconditional and everlasting love.

Forever yours Maru,

Love Mommy

Personal Notes

My dear sweet baby boy, I miss you so terribly. My arms ache to hold you. I imagine putting my face on your warm belly, touching your soft fur and breathing in all your Maruness. Last night I closed my eyes and imagined spooning you and feeling your heartbeat next to mine. It is so quiet without you here. I know how deeply we are connected and that we will always be together. Right now, its just really hard to be physically separated from you. When I take the time to be quiet and settle, I can feel you. I can feel the warmth and expansiveness of the love we share. I just miss the feel, smell and touch of you. I love you forever and ever and more.

Maru was full of life, love and mischief. During our visits he kept me on my toes, but was impossible not to laugh and smile at. Your love for him was always shown, and he couldn’t have asked for a better mommy and daddy. He will be remembered with love, and my thoughts and prayers will be with you and David ??

Oh how my heart hurts for you. I completely understand when you say love of your life and unconditional love. They are a piece of our heart and it’s unexplainable that bond. I still talk to Niko and celebrate him as if he’s part of my being and I know you are doing the same. You gave Maru an incredible life and he’ll always be in your veins. Love you ?? Larissa

I am so sorry for your loss. I celebrate the joy and love that Maru shared with me. I remember Maru's whole body wiggling and shaking when he greeted me. Such a love bug. I will miss Maru. Thank you Maru. The love you all shared was so full, true, all heart.

I am so sorry Robin, he was such a sweetheart and the love and connection between you two was palpable. Praying for you and your family during this difficult time.

My crazy nephew Maru, you are so deeply missed and will always be so loved. Your parents couldn’t have possibly loved you any more and everyone who met you was captivated by your big personality. I’m so happy to have shared so many adventures with you, all the way back to watching you dig your first hole till our last family vacation this summer. The countless memories of time spent with you will warm my heart forever. You and Cisco had tons of fun together and caused plenty of trouble. I know that you two are together chasing geese, cleaning dishes and who knows what else. together. Love you forever, Aunt Andrea

Oh Robin, I'm so so sorry to hear abut Maru. I remember how many times we shared stories abut Maru and Charlie in my office, all the laughs we had about their silliness, and the awe we felt about their unconditional love. I know well the hole in your chest right now, and I am praying for your peace and comfort. Their love stays with us always. I hope Maru bumps in to Charlie, and that they run through a beautiful field together. *Hug*

Dear Mom and Dad of Maru. We are so sorry. What a loss of this beautiful, amazing and happy dog. We have some good memories of him, and funny too. One day during our visit, we were in the car on our way to .... Robin's hairdresser? and Maru was also with us. There was one very stinky fart and we had to open all the windows of the car. Maru was sitting there with an innocent face, like: "Who did this? me? nooooooo!" and we had a good laugh about it. We will remember him and send you our love. Take care! Ton & Bri
