😭😭😭 My dog, who we couldn't touch for months, didn't even expect to for a year, my little fearful puppy. Just climbed full into my lap when I sat down for a cleaning break. Let me have my arms around her, petting. Let me nuzzle my face into her back and give her kisses. Licked my hands, arms, and face the entire time. I full on SNUGGLED my fearful dog for the first time. I could smell her and she smells vaguely fruity. 😭😭😭

OH MY GOSH I LOVE YOUR DOGS!!! Also, weird coincidence, but I also have/had a chocolate lab named Roxy (RIP) and a black lab named Ace!
YAY LABS!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh my gosh, what a silly coincidence haha 😂
Labs for the win! My family’s first dog was a yellow lab named Daisy, then we had a German Shepard named Izzy, and then a yellow lab named Sugar. Now we have a chocolate lab named Thor and a black lab/german Shepard mix named Apollo. Can you tell we like labs and German Shepards?
Have more dog photos because they’re cuties
Daisy R.I.P.
Izzy R.I.P.
Sugar R.I.P. (she’s the background photo for my blog)
Thor, ~7 (he’s a rescue so we don’t know his exact age)
Apollo, 20 weeks old as of today!

what do you think the best case scenario is for jean and harry's relationship post-martinaise?
okay so not to be Like That but i do have one fic up about this with another one currently in the works
but anyway. obviously their relationship is never going to go back to the way it was. there was just SO MUCH between them that they have no hope of restoring with harry's amnesia, and also jean knows rationally that things shouldn't ever be the way they were again. it's not like they were ever supposed to be that way anyway.
in the best-case, i think it takes MONTHS for them to even start to bridge the gap, and harry has to initiate it. jean is done being the one reaching out, being the fixer, overlooking things. IF harry wants him back, as a friend or anything else- and secretly jean wants him to want him back, but he'll never admit that- he has to take the first steps and do the work. so first harry has to put in the work to recover (if harry kept using drugs, i don't think jean would care, but he'd have to kick the alcohol) and then harry has to put in the personal work and learn how to communicate properly and respect boundaries. even when he starts trying i think jean pushes back for a while and harry has to take his turn being the bigger person and let jean complain or shut him down or whatever and not bitch about it or start a fight, because that will just push jean away more.
best-case is that harry passes these little trials of jean's, and they finally sit down and have an actual conversation about everything and clear the air. i don't think it's a pretty conversation, but they (jean mostly) says a lot of things that have needed to be said for a long time. assuming this goes to jean's satisfaction i think they agree- harry gets ONE more chance to stay on jean's good side.
buffered by the few months of jean REALLY hating harry and resenting him and being jealous of his second chance and all that, i think a friendship between them has a better chance to be healthy at this point. harry is ostensibly working on his shitty habits and behaviors, and now harry probably has kim (and possibly others) to talk to, which takes a lot of the burden off jean, because imo one of the biggest issues harry and jean had was a lack of distance. they just couldn't get away from each other, and ended up not wanting to. so now they have an opportunity to keep a healthy buffer and *choose* to engage, which also allows them to step away from one another if things get heated. yes, they'll definitely still clash sometimes, but it's a lot easier to deal with when they can just agree to leave the argument there and not speak until they've gotten over themselves.
the best-case requires harry to do a lot of personal work but assuming he does do it, i do think he and jean could go back to being friends. their new relationship would definitely start off very rocky and tentative- mostly harry is afraid to ruin it again- but given enough time i think harry proves it's for real this time and they can come to actually trust each other and be comfortable around one another.

This girl is just the best dog 😭😭😭 She had her second vet appointment with us today, and we opted for sedation to try & keep stress down (and avoid any potential for a bite). She got 3 vaccines, teeth checked (good!), nails trimmed, and blood drawn. And a new collar put on!
As so often with Emma, we're all blown away with how she's bounced back from such a big stressor. She was a bit subdued as she finished processing the drugs & recovered, but not too much so. She squeezed right in between Jack & Joel for a nap after they got home. 💙
But she's been cuddling with me for 2 hours, and went into an active snugglefest, shoving her head into my hands, mouthing & licking me, and even flipped over for tummy rubs at one point. 🥺 That is SO much more interaction & affection than we expected at all tonight, or even for a couple days.

New quilt progress! I got all the fabrics ironed and half of them cut to size. The theme for this one is llamas (and/or alpacas) and lots and lots of bright colors. My aunt and uncle* run an alpaca farm, and my aunt absolutely LOVES alpaca themed stuff, so this will be for them!
*when I was a kid my dad’s friend would let me play with their dogs whenever I tagged along so I decided he was my uncle. I was like six! He let me play with puppies! Of course he was my favorite lol

My 14yr old dog passed today. It’s so weird to feel so sad but also completely at peace with it. He was ready. The relieved sigh as he fell asleep beforehand was heartbreaking but took the big weight of doubt off of me. I miss him dearly and would give anything to hug him just one more time. 💔😭
