Our imperfectly perfect little family 🫶🏼⠀ ⠀ We wanted to thank you guys for all the well wishes and messages of concern while we took a short break. It truly means so much to us and even though we can’t respond to everyone, reading your kind words has been a pillar of strength. ⠀ ⠀ We unfortunately have some heartbreaking news. Our dear Journee has passed away 💔 It was sudden and unexpected. She had lymphoma that went completely undetected until it was too late. Our hearts are shattered. @journees_journal_ was the most beautiful perfect little girl and the love of Tucker’s life. Riley, her older brother, also passed away this last month and we haven’t yet shared it. It’s a lot. They both will be incredibly missed but forever loved ❤️ ⠀ ⠀ #pawsin #pawsinchallenge #goldenretrievers

Our Tucker is officially 7 🥹⠀ ⠀ Not going to lie, I sobbed the entire time making this. I wish so badly I could slow down time and keep him with me forever. The white hairs on his face constantly reminding me to cherish every single moment to the fullest. ⠀ ⠀ Words will never be able to describe how much I love this boy. I swear he can feel everything I feel, his eyes reading every thought, his heart healing mine. He’s healed wounds in me that I didn’t even know existed. I think you all can feel this special gift too…even through the screen of your phone. That he is truly a one of a kind dog. ⠀ ⠀ He came into this world to bring joy, love, and laughter, and boy did he deliver. This isn’t meant to be sad but birthdays for dogs are bittersweet for all of us. We know forever isn’t possible, but we also recognize that aging is a privilege. Tucker is a healthy happy dude with SO much life left. I tell him everyday that he has to stay with me at least until 14. So we made a deal and shook paw on it 😂⠀ ⠀ Thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving him all these years. Some of you have been here since the very beginning. We love you so much 🩵

Is this a “smart dog” test or a “trust level” test? Tucker says it only proves how dumb humans are 😂
