Every so often I get this feeling in my gut that things are moving extremely fast. Faster than I want them to be honest. I have always told myself that things will not slow down and I will never be able to get back the time I have lost.
But deep down you have been an amazing part of my life. Having you by my side even if it’s for a few hours makes me feel so much better. When I’m upset or anxious you know just what to do and when I’m lonely you come carrying yourself to me with nothing but love.
Yes of course my husband has done this for me too but it’s our dog-son who has truly been taking care of me.
He has been a large help in me finding myself these past few months. I have spent nearly everyday of the week with him and have learned so much because of him. Something I do not think anyone can understand is just how powerful it is to have an animal in your life as a companion. I have seen so many videos and read so many blogs about support animals but it wasn’t until I started spending so much more time with him that I could understand it. Bobby has truly showed me the power of having support from an animal and the greatness it comes with.
In a recent emotionally draining part of my life, I had no one physically and emotionally there. But I had him, I had my dog-son. At that moment I felt so lonely and low of myself. I didn’t want anything to do with anyone. But I had him and that’s all that matters. He came to me as I sat on the floor crying and he rested his body on my shoulders. His warmth and pressure helped me feel safe. In all honesty, he is not the type of dog to give or want a lot of attention or give much affection. He’s never really licked me or anyone else but in that moment he was doing all he could to make me feel better. It’s moments like that, that makes me feel so much more at ease to have him with me.
