I am in a different but similar time. My sweetheart had his legs fail and needed to be in an assisted living home. So, I am faced with selling our lives to pay for it. Insurmountable yet must be done. And, my support? A crazy and wacko young Aussie pup. Who has accepted hours in a car (which he HATES) instead of hours of chasing balls. And, when I pass out in the chair, he very slowly climbs onto my lap, resting his head in my hand. Amen to dogs. We’ll make it through this.
Last year around this time I was having an emotional breakdown, crying on the floor and feeling hopeless. My rescue dog, Panchito, came over to me and started licking the tears off my face and leaning his weight into me. (Are dogs more emotionally intelligent than most humans??) It was impossible to feel hopeless in that moment. As long as I have him, I have the world.
Dogs always know. The night my Mother passed away, my normally distant rescue came to me and he stuck right by me in the “guard stance” as I bawled my eyes out. They are in tune with every emotion you have. I know you’ll get through this…God has a plan for you and Satie is there to help you…😘
They know. Animals are so intuitive... and the way you stopped, and figured out what she was telling you, I believe says so much about how you will get through this. Meaning, you will get through this. Use that sensitivity and value your rest! She will benefit from that. I totally get it because the last year has been a whole other kind of hard after a few hard years and I'm pretty grateful for my ridiculous cats. (tell Satie a stranger says, "Good Girl!!")
Dogs ARE THE BEST. And they can and do save us. I’ve definitely been saved by my dog. Sending all the love and hugs to you and your amazing girl Satie. Y’all are going to get through this together. Rooting for you hard over here, Orlando!
I heard someone say pit bulls are like our hearts walking around outside our body and that comes to mind in moments like this. I've thought mine would make a good service dog, because if she ever notices me spacing out (as I tend to do sometimes) she does a tiny woof in my direction. Like, "you good? just checking."
I'm so glad you have Satie. I totally get it. My rescue is more intuitive and affectionate than any husband I've ever had. There is 100% nothing better than a dog to love and be loved by.
I teared up and these feelings led me to subscribe ( not your intention but good nonetheless)
You will get thru this and rejoice in being surrounded by nature in the New Year, I hope.

I know that exact stare and it is impossible to ignore. So glad you have Satie ❤️ I want a NEW YEAR for you this year. It’s coming. I know it.
So Satie is drop dead gorgeous and crazy smart and intuitive…. Dogs are too good for us dumb humans!
