#11 Gratefulness

[a_natural_beauty]

A pretty unexpected one to write about is how I am grateful for Wiley, the dog Mike and I (sort of) adopted this past December. When I have him and it's just the two of us he has been great at keeping me company and is fun to play with as well as just to be around a dog again in my home. He is a-lot of work - being a puppy still in a way (he's almost two) and I think it's his breed. He's a sort of German Shepard mix. But it's been a nice change. Having a little buddy - besides Sapphire of course - I can talk to and move around with is good again. When he isn't in the same room as me he's usually checking up on me. It's sweet.
On the third of this month I had my Grandmother (my last living grandparent) pass away. My job gave me three days of grievance to take off from work. Monday, yesterday and today. And I'm off originally on Thursday. So that's four days home that having Wiley here with me has been a blessing. I have been going out each day, doing something little at least. Staying home too many days in a row by myself sort of drives me nuts. But the weather has been nice and we have been out each day MANY times since he loves going on these little power walks around the yard.
Since I haven't wrote one of these in awhile, this felt like a good one to get me back on track! Do any of you have any fur, fin, scale or feather babies?

Pets are wonderful supporters. Glad Wiley has been a welcomed change!

I am sorry to hear about your grandmother. Was she ill? Prayers for you and your family as you navigate this loss. Hard losing a loved family member.

Thank you! He keeps me moving for sure! :)

Thank you. She had a bad stroke about a week earlier and it was complications from that. <3

That's good. Good pets are loyal and they can sense when things are off.

Oh, so sorry. As I said, prayers for you all as you deal with this.
