I've heard it said that the recipe for a long, healthy life is to have something to do, someone to love, and something to look forward to. Meet Beau, who ticks all three boxes.
Well written, Joanne. My immediate thoughts ran to the concepts of Honesty and Courage! You've entered a new chapter in the book of Life. Kudos to you, my friend.
Knowing yourself, trusting yourself, and sharing of yourself with another being. A new life is in front of you and now a beautiful, loyal friend to be at your side. Kindness is always the right choice. Continue to choose joy! A definite Yes and...
It is a Yes And - scary. Mon and Tue nights I lay awake wondering if I'd made the right decisions, if maybe I'd tied myself down - my last dog situation was a decade of managing dog behaviors, a story in itself.
But so far, other than squirrels lol, we're doing fantastic! Not perfect, but for a 10 month old puppy who was bounced around for the last few months? I'm so happy to have him home with me.
Great piece. I've lost a number of dogs in my life also. It's heartbreaking. They are such great companions. And thanks to you for adopting a shelter dog. They're the best.
I'm so sorry - it's so heartbreaking! I don't know that they ever leave us. I told someone that my heart felt like it was being stitched up these last few days, even as we're navigating potty training and squirrel management (lordy lol). I think Beau was meant to be here.
Beautiful and true! 💓
Thank you!
