Adopting you, Bourbon, was the greatest gift. ๐ We never planned on finding you that day at the rescue, but fate had other plans. As we sat on the bench in the yard, your soulful eyes locked with mineโeyes that seemed to say you knew we werenโt choosing you at first. But that night, we couldnโt stop thinking about your face, your gaze, your scars, and your story. ๐ถโจ
Your missing ear and marks told us you had survived a hard past. ๐ We learned you had even been returned once for being โunderfoot.โ But we knew in our hearts we had already fallen in love with you. By morning, we went back to bring you home where you truly belonged. ๐ก๐
I never had a dog like you beforeโso strong, so misunderstood, a breed people unfairly feared. But you were perfect. Yes, you carried anxiety, but together we worked through it. To love you, to keep you safe, and to tuck you in every night was pure joy. ๐๐๏ธ
Your star shines brightly now ๐, and though we miss you dearly, we carry you forever in our hearts. Run free, sweet girl. ๐๏ธ๐พ
