🎉🐾 Happy 4th Birthday, Albert! 🎁

Oh, how you've grown in the past year, from an energetic pup to a confident and calm young gentleman, with the grace of a prince. 🐕🌟 You're still as athletic as ever, sprinting across the sands, chasing waves, and fetching branches (and entire trees!) with unmatched enthusiasm. Every day with you is an adventure, whether it's a race to the sea or a quiet moment lounging after a walk, soaking up the comforts you’ve grown to love – warm beds, cozy blankets, and dad's heated seat after a stroll. 😄

You've become so gentle and loving, especially with little Bera, always patient like the best big brother, even when she jealously tries to steal your bigger stick or beat you to the ball. You handle it all with such calm, never letting her antics get to you – a true testament to the incredible dog you’ve become. ❤️

For those who aren’t aware, Albert came into our lives through fate. He was born the same weekend that we lost our beloved Bert, the love of my life. In my heart, I believe Bert left his tired body and found a new vessel – the only golden boy born from a litter of nine. We spent a torturous 49 days without a dog, feeling the weight of loss and heartache. But all of our guilt and fears quickly melted away when you came into our lives, bringing smiles back to our faces and showing us that no matter how broken your heart may feel, life goes on and love endures. It makes me so proud to say that I see Bert’s gentle and loving demeanor in you, Albert, and you are the perfect legacy to him. 🐾❤️

Today, we celebrate everything that makes you, Albert, so special. From your boundless energy to your gentle nature, you fill our lives with love, laughter, and a sense of peace only you can bring. Here's to many more years of joy, long runs, ocean swims, and, of course, cozy naps! 🎂🐾🎉

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY, our beautiful boy! 💖 We're so proud of the dog you've become, and we love you more than ever. 🐕💕
