As Jamie Raskin said in a Zoom talk I attended this week, 'When everything looks hopeless, remember you are the hope." Reading your posts, activism, spending time with friends, fuels the hope. And visitor dogs.
"This is not ideal." Love the power of an enormous understatement! Even before the election, when our horse was shot out from under us as Anne Lamott says Molly Ivins would have said, our family was upended. Our daughter is going through an unexpected divorce, sold a house quickly, so is living with us with her two dogs in tow until she gets her own house. So, two visitor dogs. They seem content enough here, but I do wonder if they miss their old life, their fenced yard, their dad. Not ideal, but we're all adjusting, plus I have quality time with my adult daughter, which is a gift.
Everyone needs a visitor dog right now. I have two, except they are only allowed in my kitchen, to further appease my sanity in a world gone mad. (they cannot yet be trusted to be free-range dogs).
I so love this. You have it exactly right, and Visitor Dog is so fortunate to have someone he stays with who understands what he feels when his parents are away.

And your comment gives me hope. ❤️

Perfectly expresses how I’m feeling these days! Good to know we’re not alone!
I love big friendly dogs with large heads; one of the reasons why I love Rottweilers.
Thank you. I needed more coping skills. ❤️❤️

Very cute story and love Visitor Dog :)
Your gentle humor soothes me. Many thanks.
Larry is heading to our dear friends' home to be Visitor Dog himself today!
💙💙💙 Good visitor dog!
177 hands high 😂😂😂
I played Vistor Mom to two elderly dogs that hate to leave home if their people are traveling. We got along famously.
The news does indeed feel like a violation and visitor dog feels like a hug.
I love everything about this ♥️. Thank you!

A delightful ray of sunshine…one I needed today (and didn’t even know I did). Thanks.
