More: Kobe was a surprise Christmas present from my boyfriend and he saved me. The pandemic was hard. I live alone and felt very isolated. Kobe came into my life and helped me to not feel alone and reminded me to slow down and enjoy the experiences happening “right now”. He never stops enjoying each moment. Catching his first leaf. Running through his first snow. Seeing his first cat. ALL the belly rubs. Meeting new dog and human friends. The late night cuddles. If it weren’t for him, idk how my mental health would be. I just try and live each day to be worthy of being his momma. Dogs really are miraculous beings.
