My dogs and cats are a huge part of my recovery

They are my second set of kids!

upon reaching day four (again) I'm still grateful for the unconditional love of my dogs. and they don't give me unasked-for advice either.

What kind of dogs do you have?


I'm soooo grateful for my dogs to. My special girl- Laney a pit bull mix I saved from the shelter when she was 5.5 wks old, hasn't left my side at nights for the last week. Usually she chills in the living room at nght while I do whatever in the den,then at bedtime she sleeps in my bed. But this week she has taken up to hanging in the den with me. Saving her was the best thing I've ever done, and in return she has saved me many times over.

I also have a rescued yorkie/poodle mix, but he's just a general pain in the butt.. i love him anyway though.

Congrats on reaching day 4.

<----- Doo was a rescue too!! He was actually an owner request for euthanasia..... He was moments away from death (he had broken legs) when the officer said, "He is so cute and little lets see what we can do.."
I work at the animal shelter... and the rest as they say is history.......
This picture of him was when he was almost healed up from his final surgery....

I'm grateful for my dogs too. You can tell a dog anything and they will keep hush-hush about it.

I took the dogs swimming in the pond today.
