Words on a Page Because a Title Hurts Too Much
I started this little business venture in November of 2018, just before the holidays which slowed my setup and here I am, just a month later and I’m fighting through a grief I’ve never known to explain my hopes and dreams for this.
In the summer of 2010, I was living in a city far away from my family and my friends, working a job I had grown to absolutely hate (horrible bosses anyone?) while living with a boyfriend who’d mentally ended the relationship some months prior. To say I was miserably was an understatement. I cried a lot, drank a lot and slept a lot as my mental health deteriorated. One day, I convinced my then BF to go to the mall pet store because I wanted to pet bunnies and buy turtle supplies. He made me swear I would not walk out with an animal in my arms, but I had no intention of buying anything, just petting bunnies. That was, until I saw her. To quote one of my favorite movies, “this was honest to God, no kidding, sure enough, once in a lifetime, love at first sight”.
Don’t worry, I kept my promise to not walk out with an animal that day. And, yes I know “adopt, don’t shop”, but there was no denying me that tiny, tuxedo colored little girl with her tongue sticking out. I was smitten. Not just that kind of excitement you get when you’re around cute puppies, though there was a lot of that. No, the second the shop guy handed her to me (the next day, cuz I promised, y’all), I was...it was like my heart filled up and burst, I could fly I was so over the moon in love. She was perfection in so many ways.
Over the next eight years, my love for her never waned. I spoiled her silly and doted on her, even after we adopted a few more pups from the shelter. My life revolved around her and I was happy that way. Even so, I had a growing desire to help the animals on the euthanasia list in the hopes that they too could be someone’s perfection like Gaia was to me. But, how could I balance spoiling my love and still donate lots of money to the charities and rescues pulling animals? Especially after our enormous medical bill when a packmate (of a house/family member) attacked and broke her jaw. Plus, we were closing on the new house and renovations were going to be pricey.
