When I first watched “The Secret Life of Pets,” it struck me that Frankie was very much like Max. In fact, Frankie’s name at the shelter was Max! When we got Arya, I likened her to Gidget right away. Because of this, that movie holds a special place in my heart.
On a recent flight, I watched “The Secret Life of Pets 2.” Oh boy did that hit home. Without giving too much away, it focused on Max’s anxiety. Max is Frankie.
Since day one, Frankie has struggled. He balances being a protector and little pup. His bark is mighty but his snuggles are precious. We are about a month in on the Prozac now. This week, we had a breakthrough. We had a successful 30 minute walk all loose leash and not one lunge at a human. My little boy is so much like me. He is anxious, loving, restless, and Type-A. He is perfect and constantly getting better. #rescuedog #jackrussellterrier #love

New Post is up about dancing in the grocery store ... link in bio!

Having said all of this, I’m enjoying this time. If my current biggest struggle is figuring out how to prepare food, then I think I’m doing pretty damn good. I may not be hitting the town every night, but I’m taking the time I need to heal and rebuild. I’ve been given an opportunity to understand myself again, and that is precious. I won’t take it for granted. I’m even bettering my relationship with Frankie and Arya. Spending quality time with them individually has been a gift. Frankie and I go for a long walk every day now. I tell myself that it’s for him to expend more energy, and while that may be true, it has forced me to walk around the neighborhood and embrace this new situation. We even started jogging on the last leg of our walk. Frankie pulls me, and I know he is doing it to help me move more. I know this to be true, the love of the kitchen will come and I will dance again in the aisles. The difference will be, this time, I will finally make my own flash mob, right in the pasta aisle.
