Everyone is constantly complaining about staying home, about restaurants being closed and stuff… And the festival season was the wort. 🤷🏼♀️ I had a good year, I really did. But if I am being completely honest with you I also miss two things. Terribly.

Foster for the holidays
No winter holidays for us without fostering since 2018. Gosh! This means this is the 3rd year in a row when we take in a dog for the the winter holidays. It’s unbelievable how natural it feels already! It’s like our very own Christmas tradition. Probably the most wonderful of them all.

Time
I realized that I am not writing about anything else lately but dogs. 😅 No #ammherbarium posts, no #amminsectariumm posts, no #ammhomeseries posts (yet there were some changes around our home I planned to share with you…) no #bunnybusiness posts (but yes, Mascara is still alive, he is thriving thanks for asking, the dogs didn’t kill him, we didn’t eat him, being “humanized” and living an indoor only lifestyle didn’t kill him…), no #ammrecipes posts (although I am still cooking and we are still eating, that didn’t change either…), nothing. Nothing but dogs. And maybe vintage clothes which help me trough my heartbreaks. Thank god I choose to write a personal blog and I am free to talk about anything that’s on my mind. It would be tragic to force myself to talk about other topics right now. I feel like it would kill me. Sometimes you gotta be thankful you don’t have campains and stuff. At least you’re on your own and you can talk about the things you have on your heart. 🤭

The Phantom Dog
When I talk about rescue I always make sure that my stories are as raw as possible. I talk about pee and poo and pet hair. I talk about all the destroyed stuff (RIP, my fav vintage clipon, the latest victim of Riso’s teething period). I am very careful not to give anyone the slightest idea that animal rescue is a walk in the park. Because it’s not. However, I try to concentrate on it’s positive side more for my own sanity. I try to share here the fun side because I belive in the power of it. I will never try to get your empathy complaining about how hard it is. It’s just not my style. I prefer to whistle past the graveyard, then being sad about things I cannot change anyway. But I’m afraid this might give you the wrong impression, the impression that it always ends well. And that each story, even the saddest ones have a happy end. It’s not like that. Really not.

When I lied
Do you remember what I told you at the beginning of this week? That I need to stop for a while and I plan to do absolutely nothing this week? Well, I lied. Not because I didn’t really plan to. But because I knew it’s not possible.

Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time… Can I begin my story like this? I consider that at least the beginning should be classic, if the story isn’t. Because this one will be pretty different, you’ll see.
