New puppy new life new Thread.

New puppy new life new Thread.

Both Cookie and I had a big day today. Me getting the house, supplies, space ready and really very anxious about new responsibilities of being a puppy mum. Cookie with travel strange place and being left here by her family.

We had cuddles for a while till she was less anxious her heart was racing. Then I encouraged her to explore a bit with some treats. She is now having a doze in her crate next to me and all seems right with the world. I think I could nearly doze too.

The constant hyper alert status my body has been in seems to have mellowed. I didn't know how bad it had gotten till it went.

I'm sure things will keep going up and down but I haven't felt calm in a very long time.

Re: New puppy new life new Thread.

I'm leaving the forum for now guys. I'm thinking I can manage on my own for a while. I wanted to thank you all for going on this journey with me. Especially @Kyle1 @tyme @Appleblossom and everyone else who has been amazing. I wanted to leave something worthwhile so found this.

 I hope you all find and develop your glimmers.

Hey @Gillie1 ,

I'm sorry to hear you are having a break from the forums, yet I also understand you need to do this for yourself.

We have enjoyed seeing your journey and growth with your new puppy as you navigate the ups and downs of mental health.

Do you mind if members continue to tag you? Or do you prefer members not tag you to posts anymore?

I'll also send you a check-in email.

Sure @tyme I'll still be around just not as intensive. Probably drop In Thursday evenings for the peer chat as well.
