Pets grow up fast—and sometimes in ways you don’t expect. From tiny, awkward babies to the companions we know today, their transformations can be both funny and heartwarming. One thing’s for sure: they change a lot from that very first photo to now.

The photo on the left is the first one I took of him after finding him abandoned in my backyard in 2011. I took the photo on the right in 2021, without expecting it to be the last one. He had to be put to sleep two days later. I still miss him terribly.
