Hi everyone. I finally made the decision and adopted a dog. I didn't know if I could handle the responsibilities with everything I'm going through but the training and care are a welcome distraction from my problems. The love this guy has given me the past few days could last a lifetime. There are finally some smiles and laughter in the house which has been missing for far too long. BTW his name is Toby. Wishing everyone well!
A little bit of good news: Hi everyone... - Anxiety and Depre...
A little bit of good news
Toby is adorable! He is a lucky dog. Congratulations. I wish I could have a dog!
Thank you. Yes, I was in an apartment for 11 years that didn't allow them. Took a long time!
He is gorgeous and you are so lucky. So is he to have found you and his forever home. I wish you both lots of walks, treats, joy, and laughter. x
This makes me so happy!! Do you know what breed he is?
When I so ill to get up from bed the only thing that gave me the strenght to do so was my dog, I hope he keeps bringing you joy forever.
Toby is gorgeous, I would say lively, I would say good move being an avid dog lover. They give you so much love and focus
looks a wee beauty hopefully he brings you many years of happiness.
Toby is a beautiful dog, you have so much love to look forward to, I’d love another dog but we’re in our seventies so don’t think it’s fair on the dog, happy days 👍
I just moved in with my 82 year old dad to help care for him. The dog has been great for him too. I'm sure you have a lot to offer the right dog!
They're great friends aren't they dogs?
May you both be each other's best friend.I'm so happy for you. Toby is the best medicine xx
He’s beautiful. He looks like the definition of love
He's a handsome gentleman!
Wonderful news!!!
He is a handsome fella. Congrats on your new addition to your family. ❤
Hello handsome Toby and congrats to you Broken1971 🐶.(it's unfortunate that the emoji's dont give us much choice to put up at least the same-ish colour but hey-ho, it's a dog's face!!😂). Toby will bring you so much joy and the companionship and having to think of anything other than your illness, is so special. How old is Toby? What breed is he? My son who's my carer, had a Rescue Dog called Hazel but sadly her time came to go to doggie heaven some 7ish months ago. We missed her so much and our flat was so quiet so we've now got a Victorian Bulldog who was 6 months old the other day. I will get my son to post an.up 2 date photo and also one from when he was 9 weeks old.Enjoy Toby as I'm sure you already are! 🐿🌈😷
Hello Toby!
I hope you have many years of happiness and companionship together. Animals are healing.
Toby is adorable! you may be surprised how much he keeps giving you. I think you made the PERFECT decision. I'm happy for you both! YAY!!!
That's fantastic!! Great decision in my opinion. He will love you unconditionally and always be there waiting for you. On those bad days just make sure he has a little kibble in his bowl and some water.
