Today, we celebrate more than just a birthday — we celebrate a lifetime of love wrapped in fur, loyalty, and the soft, steady presence of a dog named Body.

He’s 14 now. A little older, a little slower. His muzzle is dusted with gray, and his steps have softened with time. But his heart? It beats with the same unwavering devotion it always has — gentle, pure, and endlessly loyal.

For fourteen years, Body has walked beside me through it all. Quiet mornings filled with sunlight, stormy nights when thunder shook the windows, and all the in-between days that make up a life. He’s been more than a pet. He’s been my shadow, following close behind no matter where I went. My comfort, curling up next to me when the world felt too heavy. My best friend, offering his silent understanding when words didn’t exist.

He’s taught me what love looks like without conditions, what loyalty means without question. Body has never asked for much — just to be near, to be loved, to be part of the moments that matter.

So today, as we gather to celebrate his 14th year, it’s not just about cake or toys or treats. It’s about honoring every tail wag, every nuzzle, every quiet moment shared with a dog who has given his entire heart.

Happy Birthday, sweet Body. You are — and always will be — one of the greatest gifts of my life. You are so deeply, endlessly loved.
