Grief is love with no place to go.
Grief is love with no place to go.
What seems like a lifetime ago, I facilitated an adoption of a very wonderful dog with one single issue (rare, I know). He was a pretty severe resource guarder but only had one trigger - food. To be honest, I loved him and was worried.
One day, a couple showed up. You know sometimes you just feel things about people. I felt “it.” It’s the thing that futures are made of. It’s the thing that creates hope out fear. It was them.
I showed them the behavior evaluation. I showed them videos of him during a food bowl test. (We had to do this one. We knew he had a history of guarding and guarded in the rescue.) it was not pretty. They understood and were undeterred.
The first few months were a little rocky. This was 8 years ago and I still remember this phone call. There was an incident. There was a bite. but there was zero loss of love or commitment.
“I am not going to let this leave me afraid of my dog. I understand what happened and I want to move forward.”
About 2 weeks ago, I get a message that he was gently put to rest. He spent 8 years bringing all the love and life he could to his people. He really thrived with this family and spent the latter part of his years hiking in New Hampshire.
Meanwhile, I had done an eval with another couple who had a situation. They had a lovely dog who was being bullied by the other resident dog. Stress levels in the home were at an all-time high after welcoming a new tiny human to the family. The dynamics between the two dogs were changing.
Then it was like fireworks in my brain! These people grieving the loss of their boy dog may be, just maybe, needed some place for their love to go.
So, here they are. ❤️ A wonderful family - complete again.

How can we help our dogs see the world through rose-colored glasses?! 🌹

What do you think when someone says they are stressed? Do you think they are struggling? Overwhelmed? Anxious?
Stress is a word we hear often in relation to the way we live, how we feel, and our physical health. It also has a negative implication. Our relationship with stress - how we assess it, feel it, and respond to it is connected to almost everything we experience...but it’s not always bad.
