My better half. 📍 Angel Oak Tree, Charleston. #chiweeniegram

Sunrise 🌄 Sunset 🌅 at Lake of the Ozarks. Poppy and I visited on our drive back to Denver from Charleston last month.

Today marks exactly one year since I rushed Bobbi to the ER and she was diagnosed with acute kidney failure. And today marks exactly one month since she passed 11 months later. Needless to say the 25th of the month is not exactly my favorite day.

Spring Break. 🌷Brunching with my favs @crazyprlady @brittanyanas33 after way to many months. Hopefully the first day of spring heralds in new beginnings after a long, dark winter (and 12 months). 😩 Covid-19 it's time for you to take your finale now. 🤞🏼#firstdayofspring #saturdayvibes #betterdaysarecoming.

It has been two weeks today since I lost my soul dog Bobbi. I miss her more than I can even process. When Duke died, I was pretty torn up, but Bobbi was there to keep my anxiety in check. 💕 Poppy is trying so hard and I know she will be an amazing service dog. She already does so many tasks perfectly. But she doesn't yet have Bobbi's ability to tell me before I have a panic attack and that is hard to cope with. Panic attacks are so draining. They leave you exhausted and your body feeling like crap from all the cortisol rushing through it. 💕 Mental health is something I always struggle with but today, on the two week anniversary of Bobbi's passing, and the one year anniversary of Covid-19 being declared a global pandemic that turned the world upside down, I'm even more acutely aware how important it is to have a support system. And to know it is okay to not be okay. 💕 On this day I am so grateful to my friend Monica who welcomed me back into her home this week and is helping me heal. 💕 Stay strong friends and if you are feeling stuck or low know you are not alone and it is okay to reach out and talk about these feelings. Fuck the stigmas. They just keep us apart. 💕 #mentalhealthawareness #jetsetpup #servicedog #workingdog #mentalhealthmatters #freelancelife #digitalnomad #potcakesofinstagram #writingcommunity #traveldeeper #travelling #travelwriter #travelblogger #writingcommunity #wanderlust #femmetravel #travelsolo #traveltheworld #adhd #writing #passionpassport #lonelyplanet #anxietysupport #jetsetter #exploretocreate #girlslovetravel #pitbullsofinstagram #adoptdontshop #dontbullymybreed

Life Goes On. 💗 Bobbi I will always love you and hold you in my heart. You taught Poppy so well and now The Chiweenie is stepping up. 💗 It was a little before she expected too and right at the start of a pre planned press trip to Charleston for an assignment with my quaranteam travel partner Brandon, but my scrappy little rescue from Kansas has leveled up to the challenge. 💗 #onassignment #mentalhealthawareness #jetsetpup #servicedog #workingdog #charleston #charlestonsc #explorecharleston #discoversouthcarolina #digitalnomad #potcakesofinstagram #writingcommunity #traveldeeper #travelling #travelwriter #travelblogger #writingcommunity #wanderlust #femmetravel #travelsolo #traveltheworld #adhd #chiweeniesofinstagram #passionpassport #lonelyplanet #anxietysupport #jetsetter #exploretocreate #girlslovetravel #chihuahuasofinstagram #chiweenie

Hanging with Horses is Always Therapeutic. 🐎 This is Moxie. I used to ride her Mama Luna when I was a teenager in Potomac, Md. 🐎 Catching up with some old friends, Carol + Bill, at their now home in South Carolina (new state for me and @jetsetpup) for the rest of the month. They first taught me to love horses and how to ride and care for them when I was 11 at a special place they owned called Harkaway Farm. 🐎 #horsesareagirlsbestfriend #onassignment #freelancelife #digitalnomad #potcakesofinstagram #writingcommunity #traveldeeper #travelling #travelwriter #travelblogger #writingcommunity #wanderlust #femmetravel #travelsolo #traveltheworld #adhd #writing #passionpassport #lonelyplanet #anxietysupport #jetsetter #exploretocreate #girlslovetravel #chihuahuasofinstagram #horsesofinstagram #horsesarelife #oldfriends #aikensc #horsepower

Therapy. 🐶💗. @arrivehotels, Memphis, Tennessee. #jetsetpup #dogsarelove.

Dining with both dogs in The President's Booth (where Henry Truman used to sit when he dined here) at The Savoy Restaurant in the oldest hotel west of the Mississippi on my last night in Kansas City. ☀️ This is Poppy's first fine dining restaurant experience and she is doing so good. I am working on training her to be a service dog when Bobbi retires. ☀️ Back to the restaurant, it's in this awesome hotel called @21ckc that doubles as an art museum with a proper 100 piece exhibit of 21st Century Art. ☀️ The hotel is one of 9 owned by a couple out of Louisville who were art collectors and wanted to showcase their private collection in a setting that went beyond a museum. ☀️ The look for old properties in midwest cities and turn them into hotel, museum, restaurant combos. It's an awesome concept (especially during Covid when visiting museums is tricky) that I'm excited about writing about. ☀️ All the properties are dog friendly as well. @jetsetpup 💗s it here. Tomorrow we head out to Memphis. #roadtrip #kansascity #21c #mentalhealthawareness #jetsetpup #servicedog #workingdog #onassignment #freelancelife #digitalnomad #potcakesofinstagram #writingcommunity #traveldeeper #travelling #travelwriter #travelblogger #writingcommunity #wanderlust #femmetravel #travelsolo #traveltheworld #adhd #writing #passionpassport #lonelyplanet #anxietysupport #jetsetter #exploretocreate #girlslovetravel #chihuahuasofinstagram #chiweenie

Today is literal Groundhog Day. Metaphorically we've been there for the last year. 🤷‍♀️🙏🏾. #byecovid #groundhogday #denver
