You showed up for me.

In a world that’s always rushing, you slow down for belly rubs.

You laugh at my silly zoomies, you worry when I’m quiet, and you give me every bit of love you can in this short, beautiful life we have together.

No matter what the day brings, I’m always happy you’re mine.

I don’t notice the busy schedules or the tired eyes.

I just know you’re my everything — my safe place, my best friend, my hero.

So from me — and from every wagging tail, every soft purr, every happy little dance — thank you for being the kind of human every pet dreams of.

You’re doing better than you think.

And to me? You’re already perfect.

From the Paw That Holds Your Heart
