This is Fruitycake. I know one thing and a million more. But one of the things I know is that if the sun comes up, it’s a good day. And another thing I know is that around here, you never know what that day will bring.
Girl Person has been trying some new ways to feel better. She’s been working at thinking more positively and thinking better of herself. She has been trying to be a better person by working at making at least one person’s day better every day.
She has been thinking of ways to not feel like she is inadequate and in lack all of the time. It’s kind of like those empty crates we find by the trash. They are supposed to hold something and they did once. But now, they sit empty.
I know I had to unlearn being scared like when I was a stray. And lately, those old feelings seem to be resurfacing. I do notice that I’m more on edge around crowds and noise. The persons have been trying some new ways to help me and I’ve been getting better this week. I just wish Boy Person would get better. The unlearning is hard for him too.
I sincerely believe if you told Boy Person that he had to find a way to the moon today, he would try his best to get there.
And yet, he can’t see that sometimes he needs a break. And his body told him this week harshly he wasn’t listening. He can’t seem to unlearn trying to be strong all of the time.
He can’t unlearn guilt and things of the past. And I think he punishes himself for it all. Just like Girl Person. They may see how to help me unlearn my past. Why can’t they?
I know Brickle got us here for a reason. Many reasons.
And I don’t think we’ve even began to know. But I do know I felt him with me at a creek yesterday on the walk to Portofino. No doubt.
We’re sorry we’ve asked you a few times recently, but it’s Monday, May 1.. If 2 Traveling Dogs gives you $5 worth of joy, join the 2% who donate, whether it’s $5 one time or monthly.
Me and Girl Person both did…at a time she needed him most.
If your past doesn’t want to be unlearned, you are not alone. No matter where you are . There is no other time but right now though to unlearn it. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. Right now.
Look around and see how far you have come. And don’t give up now. Look at me.
But rest? I’ll tell Boy Person to make room on the couch. I’m exhausted from taking care of them.

I wish we could do this project and run our pages and animal rescue work all on our own. But we need your support! Even groceries? We could use help with that. And we hope we give you entertainment and enjoyment and personal growth in exchange. We hope by rebuilding this house, we rebuild each other. We would appreciate any contribution today here
Today is the first day of May. We know we have asked many times, and we thank you for your patience. The blog is supported solely by 2% of our readers, despite it being read by millions. This blog has been free for over a decade, every weekday and now on the weekend too. We have saved countless animals with your support of our community and social media channels. But we cannot do it without support. If you feel we should continue for May, we ask you consider showing your support today! We hope to see you in May and for all of 2025!

Fruity, you are doing your best to get your humans to rest but I think they don’t know how to stop. With Girl Person’s depression, I fear that if she keeps up like the way she has been going, the result could bad. You guys need to rest! We will be here no matter what. Rest up! Please!
