Today would have been Ellie Mae’s 5th birthday 🎂🤍
This photo was taken last year on her 4th birthday, before her paws had to find a new path.
Six weeks ago, on Christmas Day, I had to say goodbye to her due to IVDD. Losing her so suddenly and so unfairly has left a hole in my heart that’s hard to put into words. Ellie Mae wasn’t “just a dog” — from the time I picked her up at 8 weeks old, she was my constant companion, my shadow, and my little soul dog.
Today isn’t just about the loss. It’s about celebrating her — her big personality, her loyalty, her love, and all the joy she packed into far too short of a life. I was so incredibly lucky to be loved by her, and I will carry that love with me forever.
Happy Heavenly Birthday, Ellie Mae 🎂🐾
Run free, wait for me, and know you are loved beyond this lifetime 🤍🐶❤️
