Got up two and a half hours ago.

Got the dog out for a walk.

Been home with him on my lap since then — our 40-pound lapdog — giving him all the rubs and scritching and compliments he’ll take.

We’re his third home and we know he was abused in at least one of the previous two.

I haven’t had anything to eat or drink yet, but he’s staying on my lap until he wants to leave because he needs to learn he’s unconditionally loved and the best boy.

@reay I currently have our trauma cat in my lap. She is NOT a lap cat but I'm not moving for the same reason! 🥹
