This is Fruitycake. I don’t know what takes more energy. Trying to chase away negativity. Or building up the positivity. I say both. I have many jobs to do. And sometimes, I get real tired.

But I’m not the only one that works hard around here. Boy Person definitely does too. And not many see the behind the scenes stuff he does. But he does a lot.

For many years, Boy Person drove around the RV.

And not many understood what he did. But he had a full time job making sure things worked. And making sure everyone was safe. That was a lot of work. And also a lot of work making sure Girl Person was fighting off the Depression Monster. What a big job that always is.

Now, we all have different jobs. Including Boy Person.

And as usual, none of us really know what we are doing. Does anyone though?

We are trying to rebuild a forgotten house in this Italy place.

But…we are also trying to rebuild our lives after losing Brickle.

We are trying to rebuild our spirits. And our purpose. Because, until we get strong physically and mentally, we can’t adopt another dog. It’s as simple as that.

The builder. I am a builder. Boy Person is a builder. And you are a builder. Because each of us, every single day, is building something. Whether that’s good or bad. And it’s up to each one of us to make the effort for it to be good. Good for the earth. Good for others. Good for ourselves.

So. Ask yourself today, what am I building? And get to work.

This is Fruity. And I would be very honored if you would purchase a paw print of mine from Italy to help us with supplies to get our home watertight and ready for the winter. I even bought stamps yesterday! And you can get yours here!
