climb the mountain 52.52
I thank each one of you for your companionship throughout this year-long project of getting to know Tidda! :)
It's been a tumultuous year that has tested my strength and my stamina to the limit.
Some of the challenges included hypervigilance, agoraphobia, hysteria riding in the car, hip dysplasia, protracted diarrhea, stranger phobia, sound phobias, running away in panic and being lost for 25 days. I want to emphasize that Tidda does not represent a typical shelter dog. She was an extreme case of a severely traumatized dog and had been scheduled for euthanasia in California.
However, we felt an instant deep bond the moment we met. It sustained us. And your support helped to sustain me. Then there was the miracle of finding Tidda again after losing her, and our journey became a mystical experience.
I'm not any kind of dog expert, I muddled my way through, but the hard part is behind us now and our life together is getting sweeter and sweeter! In the end, the best path is always love. And love is listening with an open heart. While patiently climbing the mountain.
