Nine years ago at the end of October, we adopted a couple of dogs.
My first photo of Plush Dog, also showing a very different arrangement of our furniture. Then Trixie.
Here they after they’ve started to fill out some.
It was way stressful for me the first few months. TYG was overwhelmed by work so more of the dog care fell on me (no complaints — she works hard to put a roof over our head). They took a lot of care before we settled into routines we could all live with. And the loss of writing time (and the corresponding loss of writing income) was initially difficult to adjust to. But it worked.
Now it feels like they’ve been part of our lives forever, and always will be. I know that last part’s not true, but we’re thankful to have had them with us and still in good health, and we’ll keep them that way as long as we can.
Happy gotcha day, puppers.
