#I shall keep taking my inner runt of a shelter dog for walks and giving it food and treats

[coldercreation]

Sometimes I think crappy shit like

if I was a shelter dog, would they just put me down because it’d be too much work to rehabilitate me?

But then I remind myself that I’m my own rescue and this is a no-kill shelter

#Had some frustrating updates about health stuff #aka things are slightly improving but way slower than I had hoped #and it’s been a big sad agitation day/week/months #my health panic was v triggered today lmao- but #Slow progress is progress too #trying to remember that even though recovery often feels like forever #this is not really going to last forever #and one day I will suddenly realise that things have been less hard #until then #I shall keep taking my inner runt of a shelter dog for walks and giving it food and treats #and even when it can’t do anything but shiver at the back of the cage in fear #I’ll tell it’s a good pup and doing well #x
