Sweet Throwback Thursday to last year, as my first Gotcha Celebration approached, when Mom worked hard to get me a harness-vest that would communicate about my social anxiety.

Of course, all this happened before Max The Imp came.

Now, Heart-Embracing Max leads the way for everything. Watching him, I have and still continue to come into my own.

Max makes my family laugh out loud; I make my family shine with pride and joy.

Watching Max refuse to be ignored has given me the courage to get close and wag my tail for the same (especially with my Dad; my Mom is my Bestie).

Even as my Mom sits here writing, Betty da Squirrel is in my back garden, and I am jumping and pawing (and even nibbling) at my Mom’s arm.

Seriously, Lady…get movin’!! I’ve got a job to do!!

Happy Day Everyone! Time heals so much.
