Hello Humans, it's Blue!
My human FINALLY got back to sharing my thoughts with you. ABOUT TIME!
I am with my pack this holiday! This is the first year I have gotten to spend the holidays with my human. It is pretty cool. They walk me, wash me, pet me, play ball with me and most importantly give me TREATS! They throw them all around the house so I get to hunt for them. I have a great nose and love finding them.
The other day as they are throwing the treats around for me to find….the worst thing happened! A treat went UNDER the couch! Humans I DON’T have thumbs. I can’t get my treat. This created trauma in my life. I know what you are thinking…HOW did I navigate this scary reality I may not get to eat that treat. I had to slow down and think….what do I need to change my reality. My fear is I will NEVER get this treat.
I did what my human has taught me to do. Find a human that will help me and dance around until they meet my need. I danced and danced and danced. FINALLY, my aunt moved the couch so I could retrieve my treat.
This took courage to ask for what I needed, work to dance and dance and dance and resilience to keep advocating until someone helped me with my limitations!
I hope that you find resources and courage to advocate for your needs and be vulnerable when you feel limited to make it happen on your own.
