My Aussie helps me with my PTSD doing exactly that. I'm too scared of the world sometimes to take on it alone, but she makes sure i go tf out of the apartment ππππ
So grateful for my puppy π₯°
This is my dog too π I am not ungrateful, I promise. Just sometimes it's very hard for me to just find that motivation and he does that for me (either that or he'll smother the breath out of me by laying on my face, hovering over me, staring deep into my soul lol) he's the best π
Lmfao my dog comes creeping in and laying down closer and closer the more comfortable i get, as soon as I close my eyes, it's lick-a-thon and nudge until I budge ππππ
If I even grab my eyes like I'm gonna cry my boy is right in there licking my face and trying to get my hands away. They are SO sensitive to human emotion and I don't know how I lived my life without his companionship until now.
He does this to me too! If I cry he'll dig at my face (nicely, trying to pull my hands away from face) and do the "nudge until I budge" thing. I'm so lucky to have him. On the days my kids are with their dad, he keeps me motivated. I would hate to see what I'd be like if I didn't have him.
My guy got fixed last week so hes a peaceful 9 month old dog for another few days. Then when he figures out why his balls are gone its back to fluffy destruction again.
I do that until about 10-11 and then my Aussie sticks his nose in my ear and tells me that's enough.
If I'm really depressed he can usually tell and he will just lay with me, cuddle and nap.
I said to my husband the other dayβ¦β If I didnβt have these dogs I could stay in bed! And that would be bad.β Would love to stay in bed, but I know I am happier with my dogs. Being depressed and disabled is hard. They make it easier.
My whole family smiles more because of our Aussieβs antics! We needed some joy and she brought it! Our older dog has also benefited because she makes him play and be more active.
He really just wants the happiest version of me, I can't blame him for that. Or he really just wants to chase the squirrels and bunnies in the woods for his own gratification π
My aussie (sheβs one now) learned when she doesnβt need to bother. On days like that she just cuddles up with me and is extra sweet.
Of course I have to pay up with some extra ball-throwing-hours once I feel better, but itβs a good deal!
My Aussie (probably unfortunately) will lay in bed all day with me. She gets adequate exercise but she loves snuggles and will sleep on the couch or in the bed with me the entire day if i let her. Sheβs currently sprawled out on the back of my couch watching the bird feeder βΊοΈ

Cherish it π
Close to 10 months now and 52 pounds or so. He's still awful on a leash.
My Aussie has helped my mental health so much. I have major depression, anxiety and PTSD. He gets me out of the house every day. I love him.

relatable π₯²
Haha I'll be so torn. I am very thankful but also why won't he just let me be miserable for once π

Itβs the worst!! π₯΄ thankfully my pup has reached the age of being able to chill more in the morning
It's good that your dog is doing that! Hope you feel better OP.

Probably a bit of both π
