Now let’s get this straight, I love all animals but I was a cat lady for years. I grew up having cats. I still love them but since getting Jackson I have a love that I never thought I would have with this dog.
We have been through hell and back which has a lot to do with it. It’s a different kind of love than I had with my cats. Ginger the cat I had for 12 years was my love. We had a special bond that I didn’t think I would receive again until bringing Jackson into our lives.
With cats they are so independent, much more so than dogs. And well, they have more sass! 😂 Dogs have this greeting when they see you like you are freaking celebrity. It’s crazy! Every time never fails at least with Jackson.
I get lonely up here in the mountains and especially when Chris travels for work or the National Guard. So I am grateful that I have my pup for those times even though he makes me want to tear my hair sometimes but I am dealing with a toddler 🤦🏼♀️ Gets into everything!!!! Chews on everything!!!!! But we started training and we are seeing improvements slowly but surely. WE will get through this!
But one of our main reasons of getting the pup was to keep me company especially when Chris is traveling. It helps make me feel safe, secure and have unconditional love.
For my birthday Chris got me the book “A Dog’s Journey ” I have only read three chapters but it has already made me cry. It is a great book if you are a dog lover ❤️ It is narrated from the dog’s perspective which is brilliant. I always look at Jackson and say what are you thinking in that little head of yours?
So here I am a cat lady who’s turned into dog lover ❤️ What can I say? He’s won my heart even though he’s a pain in my ass.
