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 ❤️

I guess we’re a Holiday card kind of family this year. But we’re actually just silly gooses. Honk!

Happy Holidays ❤️

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 ❤️

Two days left with little Charlie girl ❤️

She’s adopted, and going to live with her new family on Saturday!! I’m so grateful for our time together, seeing her grow and gain courage, and knowing she’s going to an incredible family to live a beautiful life.

🙏
