The Life Changes via my dogs

It's so weird that this was a year ago almost exactly.
It seems unreal to me that Lady Bird came into our lives over 3 years ago.
It's unreal to me how much she meant to me & still does.
The fact that I can still cry looking back at her is probably crazy
& Ryan was right, I did favor her.
I love Hank in the exact same way I loved Bird.

I'm starting to think that Hank & Bird call each other during the day
& she gives him all sorts of silly lessons.
It almost creeps me out how much he resembles her at times.
The more his little personality comes out,
the more I'm reminded of that silly sweet pointer face.
He's all of the good & funny things about her
& it makes me love him so much more.
I know it feels like this blog has become an "all about my pets" piece,
but I just have to talk about it.
I have to because I'M still processing what I feel in my life right now.

Hank has literally changed my life.
He has changed ME. All of me.
It's weird & I don't get it. He's a dog.
& yes, I've ALWAYS been a crazy animal lover,
but this is so beyond that with Hank.
He's changed my perception on so many things
& he's really made me feel more compassion for people & animals than I have ever felt.
So much so that it almost feels suffocating.
My emotions run extremely high when I see a dog on the street
& I just want to help every animal I can.
I've been forced to really rethink what I'm doing with my life
& what I can do to change it.
(i.e. I should have been a veterinarian & that's pretty obvious.)
But he's also eased the pain I've had over not being blessed with children so far in my life.
Oh Hank, you have really done your momma in.
