Twelve years ago, a little pup came bounding into our lives — clumsy paws, curious eyes, and a heart so full of love. We didn’t know then just how much he would change our world.

He grew up beside us, through all the chaos and calm. He was there during sleepless nights and quiet Sunday mornings. He sat beside us during heartbreaks, and danced with us during moments of joy. His loyalty never wavered. His eyes always found us, no matter the noise or the years that passed.

There were adventures — muddy trails, car rides with heads out the window, beach days chasing waves. And there were soft moments — curling up on the couch, forehead kisses, and silent understanding when words failed.

Now, his steps are slower, his face sprinkled with grey, but his spirit? Still radiant, still full of that same unwavering love.

Today, we celebrate not just his birthday, but the beautiful life he’s shared with us.

Twelve years of tail wags, belly rubs, and unwavering devotion.

Twelve years of being our comfort, our joy, our heart.

He’s not just a pet. He’s family. He’s home.

Happy 12th Birthday, our sweet old pal. Thank you for every single moment. We love you — endlessly. 💙🐾
