My love died last year that I adopted when he was 4 months and I was two months sober. My Mom had just died the month before. It was tough! But one day at a time and just doing the next right thing. I would talk to my dog on my walks and visualize him joyfully running and swimming. he had been in such pain for a long time.

I adopted a wild girl dog just before COVID lockdown. It’s been a wild ride but she has managed to enter my heart. I adore her now and she has calmed down somewhat. She is a very different dog but I found I have more love to give and receive.

I promise it will get better.
