Oh, MoMo. Peach in Japan. Dumpling in Tibet. Dog to a coupla ‘Mos. Street treat snatcher. Beach crustacean hunter. Pursuer of sticks 2-3x his length. Fire Island & Montauk summer shareholder (spent more time there than us). Instagram account holder @schlomomo . Dew claw breaker (from braking too hard in Prospect Park). Lox lover & lover of being chased. Fetcher of balls (but not returning them). Sand & dirt digger. World Class Cuddler.

Best friend to many, loved by all who met him, and so many of you have.

His origin story: spotted dodging traffic in a KFC drive thru in Tennessee and fostered by @lilyszajn & @cholo1120 & Lyle & @emuhhleee, who we found thanks to Matt & @sfrieds - thank you all. I will never forget @samarrell crying in The Container Store while we waited in suspense for whether MoMo would be allowed in the plane cabin since he was 1 lb too heavy.

If I had to point to one thing that sealed my decision to marry Sam, it would be how we handled getting MoMo. He was stubborn and frustrating and disobedient at times, but I don’t regret a second (same with Sam).

MoMo has been an integral part of my life for over 13 years. I haven’t wrapped my brain around him not being there everyday. I will miss: his clickclacking nails. His elegant, high-steppin trot. His soft, floppy, perfect dog ears that were the same from his first day with us to his last. His smell. The particular squeak he reserved for only @jordanrothstein and @vcgrr . The other squeal he reserved for playing with Rufus & Ruby. The way he’d put his head right to my hand when he wanted to be pet. His constant presence underfoot during cooking & meals. His morning routine waiting to be let into @weaselingaround ‘s room. His growl during tug. His bark of a dog much larger than he was, which was perfectly medium sized.

I am 💔 and yet MoMo will live on in my memory, yours, in thousands of pictures and videos, even on the license plate of our car. Thank you to @paws.at.peace for today. Thank you MoMo for telling us when it was time. You were a good dog and a good boy and I love you.

37 trips around the sun and I couldn’t be happier to be eating cheese in Berlin with @thereal_jakeycakes! This is my last prime number age until I’m in my forties, so I’ve been trying to remind myself of my youth by staying out till 3 am every night. Smiling and tired. Back to nyc very soon taken in Berlin, Germany by @samarrell
