The Warrior Puptress turns 1
Yesterday was my little girl’s birthday. Just like a human child I was in awe of how she’s grown as a pup. She hasn’t grown so much physically. She’s only 2.5 pounds. I have had lots of dogs in my life but this little fur baby just melts my heart. She is my ESA and…

The Calm After…
There seemed like there was always the undercurrent of discord and chaos. There was a type of love I think to the degree that capacity allowed him. We could never find the common ground. I felt he needed to always prove a point even to my detriment or embarrassment. We were friendly but I don’t…
