Emily Ratajkowski Serves a Much-Needed Uplifting Instagram Moment

As the coronavirus epidemic leads to shutdowns around the globe, it can be easy to feel short on positivity while living in quarantine or practicing social distancing. Yet the isolation period also forces one to rather find joy in the simple things: whether reading, practicing self-care, or meditating. It’s a reminder to be thankful for the things we do have—something model Emily Ratajkowski knows all too well.

This morning, Ratajkowski celebrated her dog Colombo’s first birthday, paying homage to her pet with a special Instagram slideshow. The various pictures showcase Colombo growing from a puppy to a one-year-old. “COLOMBO is ONE! Our actual son and angel baby,” she wrote in the caption. “I still can’t believe that he went from 13 lbs at 8 weeks old to approx 80 lbs in one quick year. He’s still the snuggliest though!” Ratajkowski is seen posing with Colombo in an array of chic dog-walker fits, from outfits like a chic athleisure look with an oversized workwear jacket, to more streamlined ensembles featuring a blazer, her go-to Bottega Veneta bag, and sneakers.

Ratajkowski’s ode to Colombo proves that recognizing the special people—and pets—in our lives right now is more crucial than ever, and that simply being at home with your dog is a blessing in itself. A few days ago, Ratajkowski also posted an Instagram showing how she, husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, and Colombo have been spending their time at home: “Finished Love Is Blind (um, wow), ate two frozen pizzas w/ ranch, made calls from bed & took family selfies,” she wrote. And in the days to come, the star promised she will be posting many more photos of her pup as well: “He makes us the happiest and I’m going to take this opportunity to post a shit ton of pics of him ‘cause you know what? We all could use some puppy pics right about now.”
