Today I see some white flecks on my Jack Russell’s face…
It’s been 5 years since I chanced upon that little rascal.
His eyes beckoned promise and commitment to a unique bond.
A journey through hope and struggle, laughter and tears.
… where LOVE blossomed everyday.
Five years but the little rascal is still at his earnest, never ceasing demand for anything he fancies.
… nothing has changed.
But the white flecks send reminders that he has but a few more years left with me… a fact I cannot change.
…the sadness, always so evident.
He looks at me with the same awe and understanding. I check myself in the mirror and… alas! I have white flecks on my head as well.
… we are growing old TOGETHER.
I smile and accept. The white flecks do no harm.

He's a woderful boy, and I think he'll be with you for a long time to come!
Every day is an adventure with a JRT (or 2), so focus on that, not on the inevitable.
What a great entry, though! You love him so much, as do we.
Happy Mother's Day to you!
