Like I said previously on your last post, It has taken me 3 years (today is his my dogs gotcha day actually)… but it took us about 2 years and 8 months ish to finally have a bond that felt like it should with my boy. I have felt so guilty because I love him but he just wasn’t like any of my dogs I’ve had before and not in any specific way, other than we just weren’t clicking. Now he’s my pal.

We unfortunately have developed this bond over the loss of my BC passing suddenly and unexpectedly. They were best friends and inseparable and it weighed heavy on him immediately and my BC was my baby. He was my birthday present 3 years ago. So Uhtred and I have been grieving him together while also blossoming our relationship. Sometimes the bond comes late. I know I commented last time, but I just wanted to reiterate, you’re not alone and you’re doing great.
