By Adam | Sunday, October 04, 2026

Gabby’s has been a part of our family for 13 years— she’s our girl, through and through. A steady, loving presence who somehow made every ordinary day a little better just by being in it.

Gabby, our girl — Thirteen years of being our girl — and every single one of them better because she was in it.

She always carried herself like — a princess, through and through. Whether she was lounging in her favorite spot, demanding attention on her own terms, or simply keeping watch over the family, Gabby has done it all with her own particular brand of charm.

Eddie always wanting to be by Gabby's side — Relaxing like it's her job — because as far as she's concerned, it is.

Emma chilling with her dogs — She's never had to try hard at the princess thing — it just comes naturally.

And then there’s Eddie. If you know Gabby, you know she has spent a good portion of those 13 years putting up with her fellow four-legged housemate with the kind of patience and grace that only a true princess could manage.

She never lost her cool. She never lost her dignity. She just kept being Gabby.

Gabby wanting to be beside you — Tolerating Eddie with the quiet dignity that is, honestly, one of her greatest talents.

And somehow, through all of it, she always found a way to remind everyone in the room exactly who was in charge.

She had a way of showing up for every moment, big or small, and making it feel a little more complete. Even at the lake, she brought her full self — here she and Eddie hauled in a stick together, making even a simple outing something worth remembering.

This is Gabby at her best — which, honestly, was most of the time.

She was always happiest just being with us — that was enough for her. From the very beginning, she had that quality. Here she is as a puppy, already working a long leash like she owned the place.

She’d let us do just about anything as long as she got to be with us — patient and calm through it all.
