Three years in heaven. Fifteen and a half years of a life that changed mine forever. 🐾🕯️
Happy heavenly birthday, Josie girl 🐶🎂
You were my soul dog, my rock, my constant, my personal ray of sunshine. My best friend from the moment I stepped into adulthood until the day you earned your wings. You were by my side through all of it — every single day — and you never once stopped showing up for me.
You were pure love. Not an aggressive bone in your body, just an endless, overflowing heart. And you were the funniest little clown I have ever known — you made me (and many others) laugh every single day without fail. You were my reason to smile. On my darkest days, you got me out of bed...literally, by sitting on my pillow on top of my head because I was three minutes late with your breakfast. You kept me accountable. You kept life moving forward. You were my reason.
You taught me how to love without condition. How to forgive. How to slow down and notice the beauty in ordinary moments. How to rest. How to be brave.
And somehow, even after you’ve been gone for almost three years, you’re still teaching me.
I started a pet care business in your honor to help other dogs and pay it forward. I started healing wounds I didn’t even know I had. I started living in a way I think you always knew I was capable of. I just needed you to show me the way first.
I lit a candle tonight and ate a cupcake for you, because you will always deserve to be celebrated, and because food was your love language 😆🥹
I hope you’re proud of me, sweet girl. I hope you know none of this would exist without you.
I love you endlessly. Save me a spot. 🐾🌈✨
