Gizmo’s One!

0 comments
To be honest, I’ve always grown up with a pet of some sort. I’ve never been a crazy pet mom though. You now the type. The ones who dress up their animals or bake them their own birthday cake. However, something has happened to me in adulthood and I’ve turned into that type of pet parent. Gizmo makes it so easy! He’s so fun but easy going too. He lets me put shirts on him and he wears them with pride! He’s incredibly spoiled and has me wrapped around his paw!

Today is his FIRST birthday! I got him when he was 9 and 1/2 weeks old and he’s brought me more joy and love than I thought imaginable from a fur baby. He helped me through a serious addiction, two breakups (one of which was the end of a 6.5 year relationship) and some serious depression. He’s made me get out of bed and get moving and he’s brightened far too many dark days. So of COURSE I have to celebrate his birthday!

I didn't get to go all out like I wanted to, however, he got to go for a super long ride in the car, some special treats and new clothes!

Look how tiny he was when I got him compared to now! He's still my itty bitty baby though and will not grow anymore so I will forever have an itty bitty baby to love on!
