Puppy Therapy
We got our buddy Shadow when he was 7 months old and with some reservations on my end, I can say with pure honesty how thankful I am we did.
He has provided so much love in his 2 years that I can’t imagine what life would be without him.
We originally got him thiniking he might be a good therapy dog for my husband who suffers from PTSD, but the more time that passes, I am thinking he might actually have been brought into our family for me instead.
His love is unconditional where often times humans love is conditional.
He doesn’t care if I am having a good day or a bad day.
He doesn’t care if I laugh my way though the day or I cry my way through the day.
His love is steady and comforting.
Tonights encouragement is coming in the form of puppy therapy.
I shared a picture of my precious with the hopes he will give you a comforting awe moment as well.

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I served in the United States Army, went to college, received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology, homeschooled my daughter every year from start to finish, and now I am currently a daycare teacher's aide (soon to be a two-year-old teacher coming this fall).
I married my husband when he was in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform.
While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 24 years old now, was born and I made the difficult decision to put my career on hold to be her mom.
The past 20 years have been wrought with many struggles but as a result of those struggles, this blog was created.
As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to then it is my desire to allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing."
The years passed and the struggles did not. However, I feel now is the time God wants me to share these stories of hardships with the hopes they provide encouragement to you if you are struggling in the same way. It is my prayer they will serve as a healing opportunity for you.
I want you to know you are not alone. There are others who know where you are and what you are feeling.
Cling to the hope this won't last forever and that God is standing beside you while He holds you up and dries your tears. He is showing you the way, you just need to follow Him.
Big Hugs, Heidi
