I reached college and still was super shy
about everything but I started to open up
a little bit more. I had my first boyfriend
who helped me pick out my pup name,
Dusty. During this time, I also started
counseling at my university. While there,
I was told that I have depression and
anxiety stemming from a lot of my fears.
This continued and is still continuing to
this day in order to help keep these
under control.
I felt completely free of all of the
struggles I was having with my anxiety
and depression. My pack, Nano and
Arlo, were very quick to comfort me,
even though we weren’t super close at
the time. They provided the help that I
needed in order to keep myself moving
through day to day life. Even today, we
still get together almost monthly just to
escape from reality and just have fun.
Honestly, without pup play, I wouldn’t be
where I am today and it helps me escape
from my mental illnesses, even if just for
a little while. The main thing, is that I
found what works for me and that there is
something for everyone.
This last year, I was at a conference
where I met some amazing pups. These
pups became my pack and I was able to
actually be a pup around somebody
other than myself.
