Every day felt like a blessing with him around. He wasn’t just a dog—he was family, the kind of soul who didn’t need words to show how deeply he cared. And for little Cici, he was everything. Her protector, her best friend, her favorite warm pillow.
From the moment Cici came home, she was drawn to him. She was so tiny then, just a fluffball with oversized ears and eyes full of curiosity. But her big brother didn’t mind the new addition one bit. He let her crawl all over him, chew on his ears, and snuggle in close at nap time. He always made space for her, no matter how tired or sore he was. Cici found the safest spot in the world—right on top of him.
Their bond only grew stronger over time. Wherever he went, she followed. If he laid by the window, she curled up beside him. If he went out for a walk, she cried until he returned. And when it was time to sleep, she’d climb on top of him and settle in like he was a soft, furry mountain made just for her. It became their nightly routine.
But time, as it always does, moved too fast. His steps grew slower. His naps became longer. Still, Cici never left his side. And he never once moved her, even when she flopped across his back in the most awkward positions. He just let her be close.
Then one day, he didn’t get up. The house felt colder. Quieter. And Cici… she waited by his bed for days, tail still, eyes watching the door. The pillow she once laid on was gone.
Don’t ever take a day with your dog for granted. Their love is quiet but powerful. And sometimes, it’s in those little moments—like a pup resting on her big bro’s back—that we find the most beautiful memories.
