Hearing your stories makes me feel grateful I got to have my Shadow for another 6 years after my fathers passing. He was with me through so much of my own personal journey through grief/trauma its so strange not to see him anymore. Yknow that dog was in my life for 13 years he was more a sibling...
We put down my dog shadow today. Ive been weighing it heavily for months now but I knew in my heart that when it was his time he would let me know. Last night my intuition answered the question I’d been going over back and forth with a calm “yes”.
For the last 1-3 years his health has been...
Thank yall for the kind words. I honestly had been repressing so much to get through my last two weeks before I left and when I finished that last shift it all came bubbling to the surface. Hence the short story I wrote. I was so angry.
The only reason I stayed as long as I did is because I...
I was working for a backyard breeder disguised as a reputable one. On paper everything looks great, they do health testing socialize the pups early on etc everything looks perfect. The dogs live outside in kennels with a big yard they rotate groups in, and all seem happy and healthy. But the...

Man I’m 22 now so much has changed. I wonder what my younger self would think if she saw everything...
I also wanna add one thing I’ve observed is that pigs only really try to escape if there is something they are lacking in their current environment. Thats what mine used to do at least until they were given what they needed. Now they are fat happy and havent tried to escape in a long time as far...
Visited the pigs for the first time in over a year. They all look amazing and living large!
Lucy remembers me no matter how long it has been. She was napping as seen in the picture above so i went over to her slowly talking and letting her know it was me. At first she seemed annoyed, like...
Also I had to share this photo I took of Shaddy today. Yall cant tell me he isnt an earth angel. Something about this picture truly captured his essence.
