My loves ❤️

I struggle to put into words how much I adore my dog babies. I’m forever grateful for these fur covered angels.

In therapy, my therapist and I have been working on my cPTSD using Present Focused Therapy, and I’ll be honest, it’s been rough.
It takes a lot out of you to revisit trauma, you know?
With each session, I feel I understand myself and others a little better. I’ve also realized there’s this constant theme of loneliness throughout my entire life. A bigger kind of loneliness, it’s all encompassing, the kind you have when you feel no one on earth could possibly understand you. Not even if they really tried. But most won’t.

I have always felt dogs were so full of love, they have an endless capacity for you and all your mistakes, all your faults. They understand you because they desperately want to. And I want that, too.

Anyway, all this to say, we simply don’t deserve these precious souls ❤️

December has been full of breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. Slowing down and snuggling in has been on our agenda. Taking time to bake holiday goodies with extra care, enjoying long mornings under the blankies, and we’ve even pulled out the puzzles!
Our foster baby, Charlie, was adopted by the sweetest family, and we welcomed in our new foster, Lily ❤️

Only In the Dark

I’ve been on that road and it was darkness end to end

And I just headed for the dark again

How far am I from living my whole life

Only in the dark

Only in the dark

I’d say friend

You know that depends on how close you are
