Highly recommend a good boy or girl! “But one thing is already clear: Dogs aren’t just good company. They might just be one of the most accessible and effective tools for staying healthy in a stressful world.”

He’s doing great. He’s decided that there is an imminent danger of the couch drifting off somewhere, and it’s his job to lay on it and make sure it stays put! 😅 We’re chilling on the deck rn…

I so wish I could have a dog. 🥺

Is it a dog and cats problem, per chance? 😂

If it were just a dog vs. cats thing, I think I could handle (and potentially improve) that. 😉 But having a dog would completely ground us — no more spontaneous flights or longer trips. You can’t just leave a dog behind.

Same here. It’s a big responsibility, and one that was decisive for me. Those spontaneous trips are also a wellspring of delight. Have the best of days, my dear.
