Sometimes I catch myself staring at Nyx and thinking, “She really is perfect.” It’s in the little things — the way her ears perk up at the sound of her name, the softness in her eyes when she leans against me, the playful spirit that never seems to fade. Every detail feels like it was made just for us.
It’s not about perfection in the sense of being flawless. It’s about the way she fits so seamlessly into our lives. She’s goofy when we need to laugh, protective when we need to feel safe, and gentle when the world feels heavy. She knows us in a way that feels almost instinctual, like her heart beats in rhythm with ours.
And maybe that’s why “perfect” is the only word that comes to mind. Not because she’s without quirks — but because every quirk, every moment, every look she gives us adds up to something irreplaceable. Nyx isn’t just a dog we love. She’s the soul that makes our home feel whole.
