Today is Vixey's 11th Birthday and her Gotcha Day. ❤️
Nine years ago, a little rescue dog came into my life and changed it forever.
Before she became my Vixey, she had been found surviving on the streets of Detroit. It's hard to imagine now when I look at the confident, happy little dog curled up beside me, but there was a time when her future was uncertain. Then somehow, our paths crossed. I truly believe she was always meant to find her way to me.
Over the last nine years, Vixey has been by my side through every chapter of life. Through the dreams, the setbacks, the successes, the grief, the laughter, the uncertainty, and the moments that changed me forever. She has been there through all of it. When I lost people I loved, she was there. When I was building this business from the ground up, she was there. When life felt overwhelming, she was there. When life felt beautiful, she was there too.
She has traveled with me, explored new places, met countless people, and spent more hours riding in the passenger seat than I could ever count. No matter where life takes me, Vixey is almost always right there beside me. She isn't just my dog, she's my soul dog.
The one who knows me better than anyone. The one who can make me smile on the hardest days. The one who has walked beside me through some of the most important years of my life.
Looking at her today at 11 years old, I can't help but feel grateful. Grateful for every adventure, every memory, every cuddle, every road trip, every quiet moment, and every year we've been given together.
From a little rescue found on the streets of Detroit to the dog who became my heart, Vixey's story is one I'll cherish forever.
Happy 11th Birthday and Happy Gotcha Day to the girl who changed my life. My best friend, my constant, my soul dog.
I love you more than you'll ever know. ❤️
