One year without my girl

Monday marks one year without my soul dog, Roxie. She is the best girl I've ever known. For some reason the days leading up to this one year mark have been extra hard. I struggle because I miss her so much and there is a hole in my life and heart without her, but I don't want the days I think of her to be sad ones - she was such a badass and independent and funny and goofy, she deserves celebration and not despair. But damn, life is hard without her.

Over the past year I've been trying in so many different little ways to capture her memory. I recently got this tattoo and it honestly makes me feel at peace in a way. What have you done to memorialize your babes?

I know she is up there somewhere sunning and chasing squirrels and that is what she would have wanted (maybe some bacon, too 🤣). Sending everyone in the same boat some love 💕.
