Slash Johnson
Slash, age 9 months, passed away suddenly on July 3, 2023.
Being an NIU alumni, I always wanted a Husky, and last September – just when my heart needed it the most - my family brought home the most adorable, softest, perfectly marked puppy I have ever seen. Axl Rose our German Shepard was a big brother to our newest baby Slash. Unfortunately, after just nine short months our sweet baby boy’s life was cut short suddenly and tragically July 3rd, 2023. Moving to the country just over a month ago, Slash loved to run and explore. His playful personality never ceased, all he ever wanted to do was love and be loved. He never realized he had gotten a little bit too jump up into your arms. He was getting so close to howling the words “I love you”(I am certain him and BelleBelle would have had that down by his first birthday). He was finally learning that the chickens were friends, not food. He had so much life left to live, so many kisses to give, so many fields to explore, so many hours to “nuggle”.
You will always be in our hearts Slash, and missed dearly. I love you and I am so sorry this happened to you, I would do anything to rewind and save you Sweet Puppy of Mine. We promise to forever honor your playful spirit with a little more patience, a little less anxiety to get it all done today, a lot more time to stop and smell the roses.
