It’s definitely a struggle these days. Most days I’m more tired from spending the time trying not to think 🤷🏼♀️ Trying to allow myself to have my doom time and then fight to spend some of the time finding something good. Pet and kid snuggles help. But oi…
Struggle is an understatement, but tbf there's more on my plate than I dare admit. No pets here, sadly, and my kiddos are grown with fam of their own... I'm out of luck on that note. Tell ya what to, my 6ft Costco teddy bear gets lots of struggle hugs these days 😕
I will never be too old for stuffed animals! I still have a favorite from childhood ❤️
I have a few ideas when you have less on your plate if you’d like to spend time with animals without committing to one. Or do you have a cat cafe locally???
It isn't that I don't want to commit to having pets, I truly miss my doggos—that had to stay in Seattle when I moved back to CA (big sad). My household sitch isn't conducive to having animals at the moment. I live in a pretty small town too, I don't think we have anything like a cat cafe locally.
I am lucky I’ve always been able to have my animals move with me. Most recently a three day journey with two large dogs and four cats. It was… an adventure.
If having pets or fostering isn’t an option, is there a local shelter you could volunteer at or a rescue you could help at adoption events?
