There will be other dogs, dogs will come and go, but you will always be the one who made me fall in love with dogs again.
For those who haven't seen my recent updates, Evie most likely has a cancerous mass that started in her sinuses so it's not operable. She just turned 10 in January and I had no idea I'd be faced with potentially losing my dog this year. I'm not doing okay.

omg so we have 1 seeing dog and 1 blind dog and whenever there's a toy they both want, the seeing dog takes it and just...stands very still. immobile. she KNOWS he will try to wrestle it from her but she has figured out that if she does not squeak it, then he will not find it. leading to this.
"god....grant me the strength to not squeak the squeaky toy"

I was once talking to my therapist about my dog and I said "she looks at me like I am the best person in the world" and my therapist said "maybe you should look at yourself like that too". That was months ago, and it stuck with me, because whenever my dogs look at me with so much love in their eyes, I can't help but to think that I can look at myself with love and kindness too and maybe it's not that hard to do so.

I commissioned @rosenkranz-does-things for a pet portrait of my doofus dog, Ricky.
Just received it in the mail, and I’m SO so happy!
They did such a great job capturing the cute doofus aura that my lil buddy has!
I highly recommend commissioning them for a pet portrait (I think their commissions are currently open, too!)
I’m gonna get a really cool frame for this and display it with pride.
Thank you so so much, @rosenkranz-does-things !!

favorite debate I regularly have with my spouse is which of our pets will break the cycle of samsara
first off: Moppel
as the name would suggest, she was once very plump but has since been on a diet. for this injustice, she swipes at our ankles and meows loudly whenever we enter the kitchen. she is consumed by earthly desires. she will not be breaking the cycle of samsara.
second, Siggy:
a needy, uncommonly jealous dog. will literally body-block our other dog from receiving affection and steal his toys. profoundly ableist. she will not be breaking the cycle of samsara.
third, Vashti:
deceptively Zen. but after much heated debate, we have determined that stupidity itself is not a qualifier for nirvana. in order to truly reject all thoughts and desires, one must first be capable of holding a thought in one's brain for longer than the cosmically insignificant firing of a single neuron. she will not be breaking the cycle of samsara.
last, Loki:
he weathers it all with a profound sense of peace. he is content to chew on a forgotten scrap of cardboard as if it were the most scrumptious morsel in the universe. he permits the constant slights from his sister dog to wash over him like a gentle rain. he is a bodhisattva to me. he will break the cycle of samsara.

For the past few days I kept posting several pictures of my dog asleep in her most treasured possession, her pillow. I never actually told you why she loves it so much. Some years ago, my mom saw a dog being rescued in the street with all her puppies. Turns out some of the people involved with rescuing her worked with my mom, and they decided to make a whatsapp group to help pay for vet bills and to find a place for her and her puppies. They found their home, but it’s harder to find homes for adult dogs, and she was very scared, and untrusting of people from living in the street her whole life.
They called her Valentina, because the name was very popular, but also because the word valente means brave in Portuguese.
She was in bad shape, thin, and with a skin condition. It would be hard to find a permanent home for her.
For whatever reason, my mom told me she wanted to foster the dog for a few days, until we found permanent shelter for her. Just a few days, she kept telling me. So the day comes, we took her in, my mom took her out for a walk, and when she came back, I looked outside and there she was sitting with Valentina on her lap. I asked her for how long the dog was really staying with us, and she said “if possible, forever”. I still don’t know why she wasn’t honest from the beginning because she knows how much I love animals; there was never going to be a way either of us would ever not want to keep her, anyway.
She was terrified of people, and would hide out under the car on her first days here, and it was hard to get close to her for a long while. But one of our dogs started playing with her, and slowly she would hang around us more. My mom felt bad because she would sleep on only a mat, so she gave the dog an old pillow and Valentina took that pillow as her favorite thing. But she would still run away if we came close to pet her while she was on her little bed.
Months later, Valentina finally sat next to me while I was eating to ask for a piece of my food (pão de queijo, because she has good taste). And I was so happy, I cried a little. It took over a year until she trusted us fully.
She learned how to ask for food, for treats, for pets. But she has also learned that in the morning, she wants us to take her pillow from its place my mom’s room and put it in the living room. And at night, she wants us to put the pillow back in my mom’s room. And she knows that if she sits in the specific spot for her bed and stares at us in judgement, we will bring her the pillow. It’s been years now. She is absolutely close with my mom, it almost seems she understands that my mom was the one who decided to adopt her. She got healthier, fatter, happier.
It took years of building trust, and now she lets us pet her, and doesn’t run away in fear. I don’t know what happened to her while she was living in the street but it made her so scared. But what matters is she found safety and belonging here. And everywhere she goes in this house, her little bed has to come along.
And sometimes, my other dog likes to lie down on Valentina’s bed (she has one of her own) and Valentina just stares at us with profound disappointment.
Life is good. I’m glad we could make a difference in her life, because she changed ours too.
