🐾 Meet Messi: The Retired Ruler of the Household

At 15 years old, Messi is no longer chasing tennis balls, but still barked ferociously at squirrels—but don’t let the silver fur fool you. He’s still the boss. This pint-sized tyrant runs the house with a demanding bark and a stare that could guilt you into giving up your dinner. Deaf now, Messi doesn’t hear the door creak open when we come home—but he still waits faithfully and when he notices we’re back comes over waggy tail and all hugs.

Messi’s love is fierce and unconditional. He’ll nudge you for cuddles, demand his blanket be fluffed just right, and still manages to sneak onto the table the moment you leave—because rules are for other dogs. He’s naughty, he’s needy, and he’s absolutely adored.
