Took this old man and loyal friend to the vet yesterday. I noticed he was limping and had a ping pong size ball of fatty tissue on his elbow. We assumed it was a fractured elbow or some injury from running on the land • • She begins to tell me how his muscles are atrophied, and it’s likely just old age and cold weather. Almost 12 years old, this is normal for his age. • • She continues to feel around and checking him out when she asks for the ultrasound machine....turns out he has a massive mass attached to his spleen. It’s location and his age tells her it’s malignant. • I can expect him to live for roughly a month before it starts to bleed out...at which point he could die suddenly, or I may notice labored breathing and him lying around for a few days before he passes. • • Y’all. This dog is my BABY. I was NOT walking into this appointment expecting to hear this and felt like I had the wind knocked out of me. • • I asked if he would be in pain. She reassured me he wouldn’t, but if he started acting like he was uncomfortable I could bring him in to re-evaluate. She gave me medicine for his arthritis, and we headed home. • • I know to some he may be just a dog. But if you only knew Tux and my story together these last 11+ years...you’d know he’s so much more than that - not just to me, but to many. There will never be another dog as amazing, nurturing and in-tune to their humans as Tux. • • So. If you’re the praying kind, I’d love if you’d send one up for Tux. He’s such an old soul and I pray he surprises us all with a few more years....or even a few more months. 🖤

This wild and whimsical bouquet is what dreams are made of. Sometimes it’s nice to have a change of inspiration from the big bloom bouquets everyone carries around. This organic, cascading bouquet was the perfect addition to our mountainside vow renewal. • • • Coordination + Styling || @epochcoevents Photo || @heidielysephoto Floral || @laleflorals Hot Momma || @claredimond with the cutest babe and dashing hubby
