🎂 Happy Bday to my best friend Mac! 7 years of this little face. 7 years of walks, cuddles, treats, adventures, attitude 😂 and a kind of love that only a dog can give you.

You’ve been beside me through so many chapters of my life, but especially this last year, you’ve been my constant—my reason to get outside, my little shadow, my comfort, my family.

I hope you know just how loved you are, little man. Here’s to many, many more birthdays, adventures, snacks and walks together. 🥹

Happy 7th birthday, Mac. Mama loves you more than you’ll ever know. ❤️🐾🎈 by @vanananyc

Coming to you live from The US Tennis Open 2026 🎾✨ What an insanely busy couple weeks already! … so I’m serving myself a little break from The Open…. At the Open lol #eventlife by @vanananyc

July photo dump 🫶🏼 this month had more lows than highs but looking through my camera roll, I challenged myself to see if I can find God’s grace in my photos and where he had his hand in lifting my head up and what do you know, there’s always silver linings. #alwaysblessed #photodump #psalm3:3 by @vanananyc

Jet 🌈 🤍 🕊️ by @vanananyc

Sorry if I’ve been a little MIA…. Slowing down and just enjoying precious time with my pup and taking time to grieve our other dog Jetty, who’s now in another realm ✨ Thinking about her life and how unfair it is that dogs have short life span reminded me to stop and just appreciate the beautiful things I have in front of me, be in the moment. No planning of the future, no thinking what’s for dinner tomorrow. Life is today. Jet’s final days just made me understand again how important staying present and grateful for what and who you have today really is the point of life. Lucky I have Mac to hug extra tight 🐶 we play in honor of you Jetty girl. #myeverything #pomeranian by @vanananyc

🐾 my favorite parts of you. It’s been a little over a week. I can’t fathom that your body is no longer here on earth but pieces in a box. You’re forever missed Jetty girl. Please bless us from above. Until the end of this life and the next lifetime, you’ll be in our hearts. You’ve forever changed us 💕 by @vanananyc

A couple days ago, we had to say our goodbyes to our beautiful girl Jet 💔🐶 words can’t describe this pain, but I know the deeper the hurt, the deeper the love. If you’re a dog owner, you understand.

What a gift to have had her in our lives. Jet supported us through jobs, heartaches, inter-state moves and throughout the uncertainties of life, she was always by our side. She was a chill, quiet dog that never fussed and just loved to eat and be around her humans. She loved chasing frogs and rummaging a garbage can. She was so happy when you came home, her tail wagged so hard side to side, we would say she was twerking. She loved sunbathing. She loved us. She lived a full life for a doggie and made it to 14.

The apartment feels weird this morning. I see her in every turn I make around the house, out of the corner of my eyes. I can’t believe she’s not here.

Thank you Jetty girl for being such a great big sister to Mac and finding us in this lifetime. We love you 3000. by @vanananyc
