Baby Darby, 12 weeks old
This was from the first roll of film I took of Darby 14 years ago. I had no idea how my life was about to change. That I could love this little guy so much and wake up the next day loving him even more. That I would become a crazy dog person after a life of being oblivious to dogs. My company, my art, my friends, all grew out of the bizarre chance-happening that, much to my amazement, Darby entered my life. I feel beyond lucky, I feel profoundly blessed that somehow he found me, and I had the sense to trust him.
Happy Birthday, Darby. I love you more than you can imagine and you have earned that new stuffed duck that’s coming with us to our house. (Just as soon as I swing by Petco.)
P.S. I am super excited that the fabulous Grace Chon is coming over for a Darby photo shoot tomorrow. Can’t wait to see the photos and share them with you.
