Exercising Anxieties

I looked through my Tumblr a bit and didn’t see anything with this guy, so I thought I’d share him.

This is Chiquilin, my Chiki Tendy, an American Pitbull Terrier who’s just a big ol’ bundle of love! He’s a sweet boy who doesn’t understand that not everyone wants to be his friend, and he’s the most social bean I’ve ever had. His bestie is my tortie cat, Chica, and he thinks Marsh is his brother.

This guy is the spiritual successor of Baba, my last dog who meant the world to me. This boy helps me a lot with my bad mental health and he’s trained to check rooms for me, give me reality checks, and he reminds me to take my meds. He’s also really good at letting me know when to get off the damn computer when I work from home, which was a huge issue for a while (I’d work hours late on accident), and he nudges me when it’s time to take lunch/my breaks. I tried living without a dog to help me but realized I couldn’t, so I snagged him from the farming community and he’s been the easiest thing to train.
