I almost gave up. More than once.
Not because I stopped loving animals.
Quite the opposite.
I cared too much.
Six years as a Veterinary Technician and pet sitter taught me that loving animals also means experiencing their pain, their losses, the mistakes, the difficult days — and sometimes carrying all of it home with you.
I’ve been hurt by this work.
Mentally. Physically. Deeply.
But the scars I carry are reminders of every animal I fought for.
Dogs. Monkeys. Turtles.
Every one of them left a little piece of themselves in my heart. 🐾
And then came Éros. 💚
A dog who faces more obstacles than most, yet somehow still has so much love, kindness and joy to give.
He reminds me every day why I never gave up.
And I’ll always be grateful to his owner who trusted me with his care. 🐾💚
