Why I’ve finally decided to take the plunge and go to therapy. — I’ll admit it — I’m excited to start therapy. The past month has been one hell of a ride. First, I got Covid. Then, about a week and a half later, I felt like I was getting sick all over again. The chills and the body aches returned. I was…

Featuring: Haze and Abigail — This girl is by far, one of the sweetest dogs I’ve taken care of. She’s incredibly talkative, and I can’t help but chuckle when she tries to boss Haze around as they play wrestle each other. Haze is friendly and tries to play with most of the other dogs that…

Love isn’t always going to be enough. — I’m sure everyone knows this, but relationships of any type aren’t always easy and simple. Whatever shape yours resembles, it won’t survive if one or both people aren’t willing to listen to the other person’s feelings, whether they’re logically accurate or inaccurate.

Unfortunately, I’ve seen too many cases where a person thinks it’s going to be all butterflies and rainbows and then give them up because…
