Chubbin has officially entered the Pet Sitters Nose of Tralee competition. After much deliberation and zoomies in the kitchen, he decided to put himself and his cutie patootie nose into the public arena.
It’s not easy being this amazing, but he feels he needs to share his greatness and do his bit for misunderstood chihuahuas everywhere.
Stay tuned for further updates and begging for votes posts. 😅

Peaceful Paws Pet Crematorium, Ennis, Co. Clare
Thanks so much to Aimee at Peaceful Paws in Ennis, for her kindness and understanding as we said our final goodbye to our beautiful Jenny.
Aimee had a warm welcome for us into her lovely little remembrance room and we got to talk and share our stories of Jenny, before choosing how we wanted her ashes to be presented. Thank you, Aimee, for everything.

when you are unraveling
the kind of unraveling
that involves sitting on the kitchen floor
wondering how you became
someone who owns three reusable grocery bags
and no inner peace

a dog will sit beside you
like a small breathing monk
they will not offer advice
they will not quote Rumi

they will place a paw
on your knee
as if to say
“Yes. This is hard.
Also, you dropped cheese.”

people love conditionally
with clauses
with footnotes
with quiet exit strategies

dogs love like evangelists
who have already seen heaven
and it smells like you

they forgive in real time
you step on their tail
they limp for half a second
then return with a toy
as though pain is simply
an clerical error

a dog does not care
about your job status
your debt
your failed marriage
or the fact that you sometimes
eat raw cookie dough
from the tube

they care that you are here
that your heart is beating
that your hand is available
for resting their chin upon

and maybe that is the quiet miracle

to be loved
not for your usefulness
or your wit
or your carefully managed charm
but because you are warm
and you are you
and you are here
