It feels like the world is moving too fast sometimes

and staying in bed seems like a good option but

work awaits and another day begins and

I hold back the tears for another day.

*sighs*

I love this shot that captures my most excellent bully/pittie/plus shepherd plus Akita plus lab, plus plus plus you get the idea.

We adopted her two years ago. Her story was appalling. Like so many other unwanted dogs she was thrown away and left alone.

Is she easy? LOL Oh hell no.

She has her hang ups but c’mon who doesn’t? You live any length of time and you accumulate quirks to get yourself through life intact mentally and physically.

This girl is smart as hell and loves her people.

This girl is not shy about telling me what she needs.

This girl happy tappies every day. Her joy in the ordinary is contagious.

This girl makes me laugh every day

I try every day to be this girl. She’s amazing just the way she is.

Your birthday lands on my heart again

with a soft, sad thump instead of a stabbing strike.

The years since you’ve been gone

haven’t given me answer why

but I’ve made my peace with that.

I am well…mostly :/

I am happy…mostly

Although i cry today,

i will not cry tomorrow.

You were loved. You are missed.
