Shout-out to the best kitten (I mean she's 4) there is. She's such a good emotional support kitty. She follows me to the bathroom to make sure I can get help if I fall in the shower (she alerts my wife), she comes and cuddles with me if I'm having a bad mental health or physical health day, and I'm never allowed to be alone in the bathroom. She always comes to keep me company and get her pets.
Cleo the Nebelung. We rescued her after feeding her for nearly 18 months. She was, apparently, dumped when her owners moved out of my (former) Stepford Wives-like neighborhood. She lived in the sewers, and was even seen chasing off a fox one day. She’s a beauty, and we’ve been together now for nearly 7 years, weathering an interstate move, addition of a rescue mutt, and assorted life changes.
Do you ever have days you’d rather hide under the covers? I know I do!
Hey, TBALr's, Sarah here! Adventure-seeker, book-worm, & associate to Doc Heath, your friendly neighborhood NeuroMechanic!
It can be tempting to stay in bed on days we are tired or experiencing difficult emotions. However, the best thing we can do is grab our coffee, go to work or school, and practice Accurate, Realistic Thinking (A.R.T.)!
Our brains are amazing. They pick up on patterns and every decision we make reinforces those patterns, whether healthy or unhealthy. Staying in bed and practicing Inaccurate, Unrealistic Thinking (I.U.T.) (i.e. "I'm too tired to go to work." "I just don't feel like it.") will reinforce unhealthy patterns in our brain.
Take a lead from Scruffy & make healthy choices starting with A.R.T.!
Sooo in case you don’t read the link this is basically me trying to help my sib get an emotional support/service dog without our parents knowing (they would not be particularly supportive)! If you can’t donate that’s fine but feel free to share with others you think may! My sibling has been wanting this for over a decade and I really want them to have it!
Recently, I’ve grown to see her as comfort. A calming figure. Scared to get a dog just yet, I’ve dubbed her as my ESA.
As a single woman, sometimes I get sad and lonely. Physical touch definitely is not my primary love language but I crave it a lot now. Sometimes I just want to be cuddled and held.
Well now I use her as all these things. I’m actually laying against her right now and I feel so at peace. I feel loved. I feel warmth.
It’s the same I felt when I pulled her into my arms to take my nap. She’s become my missing piece. When the world is too cold and I can’t quite find the right position, she makes it alright.
It’s worth mentioning I got her on my birthday. I forced myself, literally, to go in and get her from build a bear. At my grown age I was so anxious to go in. I almost left. But now I’m so so thankful.
Sometimes I just rub her and I know everything is gonna be alright. Right now her love suffices. There’s so much love, hope, and support in this little teddy.
Abdallah is an under appreciated hero in Palestine doing everything he can to care for and feed the animals around him.
Despite the horrible situation the Palestinian people are in, so many of them are taking care of animals just as much as their fellow humans. If you have anything to give, please consider donating to his PayPal and help him care for these innocent beings.
If you are unable to donate then please PLEASE reblog and share. He is a very kind soul and grateful for all the support he gets
He genuinely does everything he can for them, do at least the bare minimum for him.
