Max (& Teddy)🐾

To my darling Maxwell. Maximus. Max a quarter million…

Today you are another year older. It’s your golden birthday - sweet 16. Your muzzle is now home to more white hairs than brown, and your eyes have a slight glaze that highlights the wisdom you possess.

While the day you were born is supposed to be a celebration, I cannot help but feel sadness when I think about another year of your life passing us by. Your life expectancy is stunted compared to mine, and every day that passes brings us closer to the end of our road together.

Rather than focus on the ticking clock, I want to instead think about all the wonderful experiences we’ve shared, and the countless things you have taught me over the past sixteen years.

Thank you for making me a better person.
Thank you for teaching me unconditional love.
Thank you for not being the dog I wanted, but the dog I desperately needed.

You are so, so loved. And I’m so privileged to be your mama. Happy golden birthday my sweet boy.👑🐾
