Real Happiness

My real happiness is my life with my dog.Gracie has been my best friend,confidant,protector and mood enhancer for the last 5+years.There was a life of "before"Gracie that was filled with unhappiness,sadness and such deep and dark depression that my world was literally,BLACK.With Gracie being apart of my life I have found the person I am and have kept my demons in check.For those of us who suffer from Depression,a dog can be the bridge back to a life of color and joy.It is a process,one I am learning every day.Nothing worth having comes easy.You must work for it.

Allergies on /with your dogEE

Gracie is my almost 7years old now.SHE rescued me after my soulmate dies from liver failure,honestly,I was trying to follow him.I had no plans on getting a dog or a cat.But,a good friend and I just happened to be going by the SPCA.Something told me to STOP!!!!!.So,because he is my friend and knew how much pain I was in,he did stopped.I slowly walked down the aisles of cages,so many dogs,ALL deserving of a home &FAMILY.But,I was'nt even sure I would find that special "click".I must have gone done those aisles 5 0r 6 times,no pull.So,went to the puppy section.Never start there,always start at 1,2 or 3 yr.old dogs.They no what being alone means,what hunger and abuse is all about,they deserve a loving,endless supply of toys and play,I ended up fining a baby poodle mix in the puppy section.It was busy that day.I held the puppy for a good 10 minutes,no bond.But something caught my eye.This tiny puppy,sitting,taking all the action in,No barking,just quietly sitting.Something inside clicked.This WAS the ONE!!!! She was beautiful,4lbs.The runtI noticed she had allergies,running noise,swollen eyes.But, for the last 2 years it has affected her tail,her area around her tail.I j
have tried everything,Benadryl,flax oil,you name it,I have trried just about everything.To say I love my dog is a MAjOR  UNDERSTATEMENT .If you read this and have any ideas that nighthelp me and Gracie,I will be eternally grateful.
