I went by the rescue today to pick up some more blankets for Chipper, and got some more of his backstory. He comes from a home with a lot of domestic violence, so that explains why he's so freaked out all the time around any new people. He's getting better, though. Last night he stayed in his crate downstairs the whole night, while I slept upstairs. He did whine a lot, but didn't bark much, and he was calm in the morning. He's been sticking close to me all day so far, though.

Lunch with Cindy was nice. I cried a little bit less than I did last time. I told her a little bit more about my life. The main point I wanted to get across is that even though every time she sees me, I'm a sobbing mess, I'm not sobbing all the time. I ache every day, and she is definitely a trigger for that ache, but I do have fun. I'm doing well, mostly. I like life, mostly.

Some things are really hard for me right now, though. But I do have a puppy licking my arm as I type, so it could be a lot worse.

Hugs! I hope you and Chipper can learn and grow during your time together.

That's so sad when you know a cat or dog has had abuse. There was this labrador that a guy adopted and she shied away from people's hands because she had been hit. It took him a couple months to get her to trust him but once she did...soooo worth it!
