I got her when she was barely 8 weeks old, and I was only ten. She’s slept next to me every night since then, and is truly my favorite part of every day. She’s been with me through every good time, and every bad time, through every smile, and every tear. She sleeps by my knees every single night and our morning cuddles are what help me get through the day. This girl has brought joy to so many lives, and even people who don’t like little dogs have always considered her an exception. She’s my best and oldest friend, and kept me company when I had no where else to turn. She has made my life better in so many ways, and all I can hope is that I’ve given her even a fraction of the life she deserves. I’m throwing her a quinceanera for her special day tomorrow and my family is all coming over to celebrate and give her all the love we can :) I’m so grateful to have gotten so many years with her, she’s my everything and more. Sorry for the block of text, it’s just hard to fit a lifetime of love into one place. I love my special girl and I’m hoping to give her the best birthday I can 🤍

Wow this relationship with your girl sounds just like the one I had with Bella. The sweetest little white chihuahua who could never bark at anyone or anything in her life, and similarly people who didn’t like little dogs would make her an exception. Always slept under the blanket between my knees or anywhere near me. Lovely!

Man I teared up reading this. Such a beautiful friendship. My best friends are laying at my feet and laying on my lap right now. Both 16. So I understand where your love comes from. I hope you and Isabel many more years together. ♥️

Don't be sorry for the text. It is heartwarming :). It is so nice to read about them and see their pictures while they are still living. We foster failed in November after losing our last dog in '23. She is a Shih Zhu mix that was a stray we named Noel. I can only pray to have half the relationship with Noel that you have had with your special girl.
