This is Fruitycake. I’m a dog that likes the simplest of things. You know. Like pizza margherita.
Or a good breakfast eggie on a rice cake.
But I’m also a very grateful dog. When I go to bed, and a bed is also something to be grateful for, I get to sleep inbetween two persons who love me very much.
When Brickle was here with me, I have to admit that things were much easier for me. I knew that Girl Person’s time had to be spent with him.
I didn’t mind. I knew it was necessary. But when he was no longer here, time seemed different. There was more time for me and Girl Person to be together.
But neither of us knew what our relationship would be. We were both hurting. Boy Person was hurting too yet trying to be strong.
It took us until just recently to really be grateful and appreciate each other…me and Girl Person. I can’t believe someone would actually take the time to take me on my favorite hike everyday.
I can’t believe I’m that important to her. She makes me feel special for me.
Girl Person has a hard time accepting love. She always has. Boy Person reminds her that I do notice her efforts. I do love her. And I do.
Be grateful today. Like me and Girl Person.
When someone loves you, whether that is a friend of a family member or anyone…let them know you appreciate that love. It means the absolute world.
The chaos and meanness of the world is loud. But love is louder. If we all express it.

This is Girl Person. Please read:
The last year of my life has taught me that I’m definitely not as strong as I thought. Physically, I was beyond my breaking point. Taking care of a senior dog is not for the weak! But when Brickle passed, he not only took part of me with him, but he taught me a huge lesson. Don’t plan too far ahead. Because you won’t be able to enjoy the now.
The now. Our now has been filled with survival! Just the basics like getting water and solar power, getting groceries and learning a new language has brought me to my knees many times. But in the midst of all the chaos, I keep recalling what Brickle taught me. Don’t plan too far ahead. Evaluate life decisions one at a time. And that’s how I decided to approach the blog now.
After Fruitycake and I finally got back into a routine, and our relationship grew, and I got to learn more about him, I realized his voice had not been heard enough. I HAD to take care of Brickle. And I wanted to. And I’ll never regret it. But the reality is, Fruitycake didn’t get all he needed. And now is the time to hear his voice. Which is why I felt absolutely compelled to take the blog from five days a week to seven days a week. I felt there were people who needed us every day. Those who may not have friends or family and feel more alone on the weekends. Those who just want to read something other than bad news. And those who may have not read our blog at all since we started it. So seven days a week for now it is!
But we are also taking it as a month by month commitment. I can’t pretend it isn’t costly for us to produce it every day without sponsors. It is. So if you feel compelled to tip here and there, we appreciate it. We also appreciate being able to put food on our table. Yes. We have a table now!
Month by month. So here is our drive for February. All tips for the remainder of the month go to supplies like necessities and groceries to be able to provide the blog and content and sharing of animal rescues on our pages. Content creators and writers all make their living thru their audience. And we think of our audience as friends. We never ever want anyone to give when they can’t. Or don’t want to. But if you think what we do and will do for February and 2025 is important, we thank you!
