Dog Mom of Two






I am officially a crazy dog mom of two :) 
Also my official sorry, not sorry for all the Cosmo blowing up FB! I'm OBSESSED :) 

Now, I started presenting the idea of another dog around my birthday last year.  I was met with all the reasons why we shouldn't.   A second dog was my request for every holiday and birthday after...  Yes, even his.  I wanted to rescue, he thought he might want a puppy.  I casually sent him rescue profiles and listened to what he thought about each one, taking note of his likes and dislikes.  I would take periodic breaks as not to push it, lol, then I would start sending him more specific rescue profiles! He would counter with puppy listings on CL- eventually the right rescue profile would come acrossed & Sunday 6/7 at an adoption event we met and brought our boy home.

Only took me 7 months folks!  One look at Cosmo and Brannon was ready to go pick him up!  Life has changed so much in the time we have been together!  I have to say, suffering from depression and anxiety completely changed my life.  Even when I started to feel better I was still stuck in the same physical routines that I was in when I was suffering and I really didn't know how to make that different.  

Cosmo is a husky/catahoula leopard dog mix and he requires two walks a day and lots of outside time!  Marley is loving it!  I have already lost two pounds since his arrival!  We have restructured our whole lives to accommodate and meet his needs!  It has made us ALL better!  He is crate training and doing AWESOME!  I am enjoying exposing myself to the outdoors a lot more often. He doesn't go out without us so we have all had a lot of playing and running around going on over here.  Loving and caring for him has really helped me, our walks are an amazing time for me and he won't let me miss it!  

We are SO happy to have him in our family and maybe for the first time ever, it is ALL about him and he is loving it.
