30 days of Thanksgiving... Day 3

Happy Sunday, loves! As I am home today resting up for another work week (and trying to get my voice back), I am getting a lot of snuggles from Stella.  She is my rock and my girl.  Everything I do is for her.  It's really crazy how much I live to provide for her.  Most people would think I'm crazy for loving a dog so much and for spending so much money on a "pet".  Stella is not just my pet.  She is my best friend, my companion, my rock, my everything.  I love her more than I've ever thought I was capable of loving someone.  I love Josh SO much, but Stella is different.  I can only imagine the love I have for her to be somewhat the same as when I have my own children.  I know that she relies SOLELY on ME.  I must feed her.  I must provide her water.  I must walk her.  I must buy her food.  I must take her to the doctor.  She can't do any of this by herself because she is obviously, a dog.  I love having all of the responsibility, but at the same time its a feeling that scares me.  What if I mess up?  What do I do?

When I turned 16, I got a shih-tzu, named Snickers.  He is still around, but my Mom has become his "mommy".  Even though he was mine, my Mom took care of him for the most part.  I never learned responsibility from him.  But, with Stella, it was different.  I was living on my own with my parents 20 some hours away.  She was mine.  I was responsible for her.

I love my Stella B with all of my heart.  I would do absolutely ANYTHING for her.  I don't ever want to see her in pain.  I want to give her the best life she could possibly ever have.  So, TODAY, I am thankful for Stella B, my whole world.
