Love As Big As A Planet

Kappa, fully relaxed and just observing his surroundings.

A short hike + 15 minute offleash dog play + an outdoor monument walk + a museum visit!

We’re BAAAACK! Took an extended tumblr break because I was starting to take it all way too seriously lmao.

Sometimes I look through photos of Kappa’s mom and I am… struck by a likeness.

Soft and warm and full of love.

And honestly I did some of it wrong initially. There’s still stuff now that when I learn how to do it correctly I’m like “OH SHIT…. whoopse.”

Some stuff I got right on accident. 😂 Which is hilarious in hind sight.

It all worked out tho. He’s a fun little dude, and he’s my buddy, and he’s my baby, and the fact that he’s cool and functional and social are all things I can only half take credit for.

I see a lot of people worry about doing what’s best for their dogs, especially new dogs or puppies. I’ve seen a lot of people express anxiety about “ruining” their dog by messing up too many times. I’ve had that anxiety too.

Guess this is just a long way of saying that if you really care, and you really try, and you KEEP trying even after your dog is an adult- it’s very likely that your dog will also be fun and cool and functional. Of course I can’t speak for every situation, there are some unfortunate things that happen sometimes that are out of an owner’s control. But for the most part?
