I have some exciting news that I've been meaning to share. And now that I'm a few weeks away from a big change, it's time for an update!  …

There were years between the time I knew it wasn't right and when I finally walked away. And I learned a lot from the experience. Today, I'm going to talk about knowing when it was time to call it quits and when I finally had the strength to move on.

I grew up with rescue animals but always preferred cats to dogs. And the dogs I liked were usually on the fluffier site. But if you follow me on instagram, it's pretty clear that I'm obsessed with my chihuahua min-pin (mix) rescue pup, Buddy.
