A canine's loyalty and affection is the most comforting thing ever! This little pup has been with us for most of our infertility journey...well, we got her several months after we learned it was going to be a long, hard road. She was our first baby, really. We raised her together since she was 9 weeks old. It has given us an outlet to express some parental love and nurturing. Even though she's just a puppy, it was something to hold and love while we've waited.
So this morning while she lovingly rested her sleepy head on my hand I was reminded of all the times she loved me when I needed it most. She never said the wrong things like, "just try to stress about it," or "at least you are still young." She let me feel whatever I wanted to feel, and she never judged me for a moment. She didn't try to solve my problems, and she never grew tired of me. She was the perfect companion in those dark hours.
So this post is goes out to all the dogs (and cats) who are helping us along the way. Your love is priceless!!
Thank you Puppies!!!!
So freaking cute! Aren't dogs the best. The love you no matter what!!
ReplyDeleteUmm, I don't know what I'd do without my little man. He knows when I'm sad and does his very best to comfort me. And he listens to me and doesn't judge. He's been an enormous comfort to me throughout it all. I'm very lucky to have such a wonderful dog! He's is definitely my first baby!
ReplyDeleteCrazy super precious!
ReplyDeleteI had often thought that getting a puppy would really help and everytime I used to say "I want a puppy", my husband would "No, you want a baby..." But I think a puppy AND a baby would be the best!
I so agree with you! My two dogs have definitely helped me through those difficult moments! And your Bunny is super cute :)
