I love making thank-you posts because they’re a really good thing to look back on when I’m having a tough day. Yes, most of our days at The Den are wonderful and happy and fun. The good days are really good. ❤️
But some days are tough. Some days I struggle. And those are the days I find myself scrolling back through these posts, rereading encouraging words from notes and cards I’ve received, and reminding myself that I’m not on this journey alone.
The Den is a pack. But it’s not just the pups and me. It’s the wonderful members of our board who believe in my vision and help every step of the way. It’s all of you who follow along, celebrate the good days with us, worry with me on the hard ones, share the stories of your favorite Golden Girl, and invest in their lives by sending their favorite goodies from our wishlists, donating, sharing our posts, or simply cheering us on.
So this post is a big THANK YOU. Not just to Auntie Beth, who spoiled the pups with our latest delivery, but to every single person who has supported The Den and our girls along the way.
We’re a small rescue. We’ll probably always be a small rescue. That’s part of what makes The Den what it is. But there is absolutely nothing small about the amount of love that surrounds these dogs. On the tough days, I hope you know how much that matters.
And, just so you know, today is not one of those tough days. ❤️
Today, despite their various health challenges, all of our Golden Girls are doing well. They’re happy, playful, smiling, and enjoying life. And I’m getting to enjoy every minute of it with them.
Today is one of the really good days. And, I am so incredibly grateful. For them. For this life. And for all of you who help make days like today possible. ❤️🐾
With love and gratitude,
The Den Mother, Sunni
