Warning: Sappy post ahead!

This weekend will mark a year since Roman came into our lives.

If you had asked me a little while back, I would have told you I was a cat person. All the way. No doubt about it.  Dogs poop in the yard. Gross!  Cats use a litter box, you can leave them for days at a time, they are quiet, etc etc etc.  I had no understanding of why on earth someone would want a dog. 

Then I became allergic…to my own cat! Ya’ll, I loved this cat. And still do! He used to sleep under the covers at my feet. Now, I can’t even pet him for long or my eyes will swell shut, and I’ll go into a sneezing fit for 3 days.  I ended up giving him to my parents, and in good timing, because their longtime cat had just passed away. He filled a void for them, and it solved my sniffles. But I was sad and had no furry companion in my life. All my life, I’d had a cat or two.

Fast forward a few years, I briefly had a black lab, but he stayed with my ex when we split. That let me know that I might just be up for having a dog…

 I decided I wanted to get a dog once I was out of my apartments that didn’t allow pets.  I knew I wanted a larger breed of a dog. So when I moved into my house, Patrick helped me and scoured craigslist for people needing to rehome their pets. And one day, he told me (against my apprehension about it) that a girl with a Great Dane was going to meet me and him at my house after work.

I drove home that afternoon to find her, Patrick, and a very large, but quiet dog in my yard. I was actually a lil scared of him at first, esp not knowing his full background.  But little did I know…

Oh sweet Roman. I never knew I could love an animal so much. Over the past year, he has become part of our little family. He’s weaseled his way into our hearts and our bed (only if invited though :)  He’s a dog who needs love and who has much love to give.  He’s afraid of thunder, and doesn’t like barking dogs. He’s a dog that runs and hides from my parent’s cat because he’s afraid it will attack him. (and it will.)  He’s also protective and loyal.  He’s a sweet dude who is chill and lets us dress him up with no complaints. He’s a 100lb lap dog. (small for a dane.) He’s content being anywhere where we are. He’s a bread bandit if it’s left on the counter, and he’s a snuggler all of the time.

He’s a gentle giant. He’s my running buddy (he can run 3 miles!) He’s a loyal companion. He loves unconditionally. He’s always waiting for me when I get home from work, tail wagging feverishly and happily.   I’ve said it before. If everyone loved like our pets love, the world would be a much better place.

Now I’m a dog person. I still love cats, of course. But I’m a crazy dog lady.  I don’t mind scooping his poop, or giving him a bath, or constantly vacuuming hair, or any of those other things I used to despise.  Because he gives me so much more in return.

Happy One Year Anniversary, pup. Thank you for bringing us so much joy. You are oh-so-loved.

love them both. a lot.

See this dog?

Her name is Hope. Hope was tied up around the neck with electrical wire by 19-year-old Dionte Davis and left to die in the woods. Her trachea was severed, as you can see above, from her struggle. She survived a little while after being rescued, but sadly did not make it. She was, however, alive when the above picture was taken. Nearly decapitated, but still alive.

Can you imagine the pain she felt? Yet even after that, she was still trusting of people. Still friendly, still loving, to her dying day. Such a sweet dog, who, thanks to the cruel actions of a twisted man, met an untimely and inhumane death. What did Hope do to deserve this?

There’s a petition here to give Davis the maximum sentence, along with many others around the web. Please at least look at the page, and reblog to get the word around. Abuse like this deserves the full punishment.

HERE’S A WORKING LINK TO THE PETITION, SIGN THIS —-> PETITION

I FUCKING HATE HUMANS. I HOPE HE’LL ROT IN PRISON.

I want every single one of you to sign this petition. I am in tears over this.

WHAT GIVES A HUMAN BEING THE PRIVILEGE, NO, THE RIGHT TO TRY AND KILL AN ANIMAL?

What did this poor dog do to ANYONE? Did she kill somebody? Did she steal food? Did she bite someone on their hand?

No. I bet you she didn’t.

All around the world, daily, dogs are abused, tortured, maimed and massacred to satisfy a selfish, inconsiderate, power-hungry humans life. We are destroying the world and its inhabitants daily. This is the kind of stuff that makes me sick to my stomach—people are killing animals, people are destroying ecosystems, and people are molesting children. DO THEY GET PUT IN THE FUCKING PRISON? NO. PEOPLE WHO SMOKE WEED GET PUT INTO PRISON. HUH. FUNNY ABOUT THAT. 

I am so fucking sick and tired of people who do this shit not getting the maximum sentence they deserve. And you know what? That bullshit needs to change. 

Now.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ this is so grieving and sickening

everyone needs to sign this. now. what a sick bastard.

Isn’t she precious. :)

They were so tired haha

Photoforged tiff and roman!

love of my life

How he sees me.

Patrick took this on a ferry ride during our honeymoon….I was none the wiser that he was taking it. I think this is why I love photographing people so much…catching those moments where they are being themselves. And that often tells a story. I remember everything about this moment, and that’s what photos do best. They help us recall those memories that might have fallen through the cracks.
