(I really, really debated whether or not to post this. Then I realized, I’m probably the only one who cares, so why not? I’m going to preface this by saying my father apologized to me. A few years ago, of his own volition, he apologized to me for the way he behaved when I was a child.)

I tried EMDR for the first time the other day. The therapist

Thank you.

It's amazing how comforting dogs are. I had a miscarriage about a year ago and while my cat was comforting, he did not give me the same kind of physical comfort. Because of this, getting a dog became number one on my list.

There are many times I'm upset and I throw my arms around Brubeck. The other day I noticed he smelled like Pachanga my first dog (he's my 3rd), so I sat there breathing in and feeling the love and comfort of two dogs at once.

Oh, I'm so glad you have him.

I'm so sorry, especially for you-at-five. I'm glad you're figuring these things out and can work on them, though.
