The mini charcuterie board 😭 That is the most thoughtful and sweetest gesture. I love this story as usual.

If I were to look up "relationship goals" in the dictionary, I feel like I would see this post.

I love that from the beginning he knew y'all were a package deal. And I can't get over how thoughtful it was to put together a "barkuterie board" for Simon. That's next level planning for a first date! It's obvious from all your stories how much he loves and cares for you and Simon. The 3 of you are the cutest little family.

And as many others have stated, he's a keeper!

I hope to one day find my own "Jacob" who is thoughtful, caring, kind, and shows his love not only through words but actions. 💚

Ugh! You got me bawling for the second time this week, but in the best way! We all love how Jacob loves you and loves so deeply. He loves you in a way that speaks to you and that’s so special and kinda rare! We love the way he loves Simon, even if he isn’t particularly a dog person. Jacob is a one-of-a-kind human with a ginormous heart. Happy anniversary to y’all, even Simon, because he’s also been there since day one! ❤️

Wow I loved this post about Simon and your bf. We had our 60 lb Rescue foxhound for 14 years with seizures. I know how awful and scary it can be. But our Odie lived a long wonderful life even with the seizures and medication. So glad you have the amazing person for you and for Simon!!

This is too much. Always a fan of your relationship, but this is another level. I’ll retreat to my corner and sob quietly because I feel overwhelmed with love
