🖤 9 YEAR ANNIVERSARY 🖤

Happy birthday to Instincts First! I'm so proud of her journey so far 🥺
Backtracking through the years, reminiscing on the moments that come forward.

Grateful beyond words for each and every human and dog experience and interaction that has shared space within Instincts First.
The most incredible connections made, lessons and learnings both personally and professionally, opportunities and visions created. I love it all and I crave more.

What a ride it has been feat. a pic from each year and the classic IG filters we all used 9 years ago 🫶🏽
