It also makes me feel better. I worry about her first and foremost, but I also worry sometimes what other people think...like when I take her to the pet store to pick out toys, I can't help but feel like other people must think I'm a terrible mom because she's so thin. They don't know she's fed the best food I can find (Evo), get's constant vet attention, and that the other furbabies in my home are plush and healthy.
At the same time, I don't explain that she's a rescue either because that kinda feels like I'm betraying her somehow. It's silly I know, but I grew up as a foster child, and I lived in fear of being introduced as the "foster kid." See? There I go projecting my feelings onto my dog! lol
If you knew what I do for a living, you'd understand! LOL |
Are you a social worker? Ha just kidding. I have a friend who is a social worker and she is the same way with her pets and her friends' pets too!
BTW we all humanize our pups here, I think!
