despite my chronic illness, i decided to get a dog about 3y ago and it's one of the best decisions i ever made. it is more expensive to care for him because i often use dog walkers, but he is worth it! every day he makes me laugh and feel unconditionally loved, that joy was very hard for me to access before i had him and i really needed it. sick people need love, joy and companionship just like anyone does, if not moreso. thrilled you have sunshine!
Yes I initially struggled with feeling like as someone with a chronic illness, I couldn’t handle a pet. But I agree it was so worth it! So glad you have your doggo, you deserve that daily infusion of joy 💚
lovely piece. We're a non-shedding family agnostic on the breed. Living with animals (other than humans) brings newness almost every day. Thanks for sharing.

My neighbors used to have a Dalmatian named Chip. Loved that guy.
Sounds like a stand up dude!
