Hi all! I've been suffering with horrible anxiety and panic attacks for the last year now :/. It's kind of been a living hell some days. There have been weeks that have gone by that I was lucky to have a day with out a pannic attack or just an over all break down :/. Anyway, if you want to understand more theres tons of stuff online about the condition.
I have a great family, close friends, an amazing girl friend, and on top of constant dr's visits on and off different medication I just haven't seemed to get any better. until.. My buddy suggested I should get another dog. Maybe a puppy to keep me occupied and see if it would help get my mind off things. Well of course being the animal lover I am I thought it was a great Idea and we headed out to local pound the next morning.
I walked through the entire dog room stopping at every single cage for like 5 min... lol we were there for over 2 hours :p. I kept noticing all the pits that were all beaten up and it made me want to cry. So i told myself right then and there I was getting a pitbull to keep some ass like Mike Vick getting a hold of him...
Well there were like 10 and I couldn't choose between any of them so we decided to go to the puppy room. Well I walked in and every single dog got up and started barking. All except one... I walked up to her and she licked my hand through the cage. I didn't even notice she was a pit until i read her card :p. I got her out and feel in love immediately! She was the chillest puppy I have ever seen. She licked my face to death and when I put her down to see how she was with other people she got in between my legs and just sat there looking up at me wagging her tail :p.
Haha sry this is so long, but ive had her for a few weeks now and I haven't had a day that ive felt really anxious yet! I know that may sound weird to some people but there would be times when I would just simply get out of bed and have a panic attack... wasnt much fun.
So yeahhhh shes by far the easiest dog to train that I have ever had. And she was a stray that was brought in btw. Shes only 3 months old. Ive already got her sitting, laying down, playing fetch (she actually drops it at my feet) and i got her potty trained with in the first week as well
Long story short, I have never felt so in love with an animal in my life. I honestly think she is what has made my anxiety and panic attacks completely go away
So hers a few pictures i have of her. OHHH YEAHHH!! Her Name is Juno! Oh and what else do you guys think she has in her? I'm thinking her face looks a little like lab. But shes still small so only time will tell.
Nappp timeee
