❤️🐾🐾❤️
It was my decision. ❤️
I knew what I was getting myself into.
Nobody made me do it. Nobody forced me.
I wanted this, exactly like this.
I knew my life would change.
I promised them that as long as they were with me, I would care for them, provide for them, protect them, and take them to the Vet when they were sick.
That they would never be alone.
They are my babies. ❤️
I knew my purse would be tighter, my clothes covered in hair, and my belongings might get ruined.
That was my choice.
And I would make it again.
It hasn’t always been easy, but it has always been worth it. Things may get destroyed. Things can be replaced.
What can’t be replaced are those sparkling eyes, so full of joy when I walk through the door that they practically fall over trying to greet me. 🥰
It doesn’t matter if I’ve been gone five minutes or five hours. Their love is the same.
Unconditional. Irreplaceable. ❤️
When they hear me cry or sense my sadness, they come to me with their cold noses & slobbery kisses reminding me I’m never alone. They make me laugh & always make me feel loved.❤️
And somehow, the years fly by.
Their faces slowly turn gray.
Their steps become slower.
They may not jump anymore when I come home but the excitement is still there. ❤️
Then one day, the sparkle in their eyes begins to fade.
Long walks become short ones.
Their favorite place is right beside me, resting.
Vet visits become more frequent.
Accidents happen more often.
This is part of what I chose.
I chose their puppy days, their wild youth, and their quiet old age.
I chose the beautiful moments and the hard ones.
The joy and the heartbreak.
And there is not a single moment I regret. 😪
I took responsibility for them the day they joined our family and I will carry it until the day I have to let them go.
My huskies will never have another owner.
They will never end up in a shelter or rescue.
I will never move somewhere they can’t come with me. The person who could make me give them up doesn’t exist and never will.
They are my life.
My family.
My forever.
Until death do us part. ❤️
If you feel this too, please share.
Maybe together we can save one from ever ending up in a shelter. 🐕🐾❤️
