One more year passed, bringing my sweet baby girl to the big six today. Where does the time go?

You are my heart dog. You have come so far, and everday on your birthday I celebrate you and everything you are, and I commemorate the wonderful mother you had who left this life far too soon, who you never got the opportunity to meet and learn from. You have had so many challenges, and have had the courage to meet them all face-on. I have had the blessing to be able to watch you grow and blossom, work through each problem as it arose, into the beautiful dog you have become. And you still keep me on my toes - I have never met such a quick-learning, highly intelligent being, the little spitfire of attitude who I know deep inside is just a mushy little pup.
Thank you Gaci, for everything that you are, and everything I know you will continue to be for years to come. I wish you could begin to have an understanding of how you have changed my entire life from that day you were born, and made me who I am today. The path I ended up following was altered by you, in a way I will forever be grateful. I'll never let somebody say you're "just a dog", or that you "will never be able to do that", because you have been my teacher, my guide, my partner, and best friend, and you have proved everybody wrong by pushing through and succeeding.
