I want to write a whole long post about Flynnie’s 1st birthday but I’m wiped out. So for now, here’s a few of the hundreds and hundreds of photos I have of him. Flynnie bean, You’ve brought me such love and admiration over the last year. I never would have made it home after my last trip because Jazzy was gone and how do we go on without her. How do I get out of bed and be productive when one of my babies is gone. You remember that you still have a special nugget of sunshine who is also grieving and confused and still needs his momma, and you keep going. So, while this has been a hard adjustment on us and especially hard on my mind, Flynn has kept my heart beating, my hands throwing, and my soul running. I’m so thankful to have you in my life and I’m so thankful to @silveroaklabradors for allowing me to give this little (well, big now, 80+lbs 😳) boy a fun and loving home for him to live in. I’m also eternally and have no words to describe the gratitude I have for my amazing Mom taking care of him when I’m admitted or too sick to care for him and my sister who helps out when she can, and his auntie Bonnie for babysitting whenever I need someone to help me with him, she never hesitates even when he can be a little adolescent asshole sometime Happy birthday baby, I hope we get so many more!!! . . . . . . #silverlabrador #silverlabsofinstagram #silverlab #silverlaboftheday #silverlabpuppy #servicedogintraining #servicedog #servicedogsofinstagram #sdit #sd #esa #happybirthday #firstbirthday @silverlab_squad @silverlaboftheday #silverlaboftheday #silverlabsquad #silverlabsofinsta https://www.instagram.com/p/B46gmuxAiuM/?igshid=1mwr2yynn1m2z
