After the terrible year of 2013, when I tried to date two men and after someone very dear to me died, my heart closed. I didn't want to risk getting hurt again. Adopting Lambert helped me open my heart again and showed me that I could invest in something without strings attached. My dog gave me the confidence to not have to worry about finding someone.
This confidence gives me the strength to keep living even when no one is mad at me. Once I adopted Lambert, I started to pursue simple activities, like taking walks with her big dog training collar or just having a barbecue outside with friends. Instead of sitting on the couch with my mouth on a Sunday, we have fun together. We play or I fall asleep on the hammock when she digs holes in the backyard.
