Two lil guys trying to navigate their big feelings in this big world 🥹
When I first started walking Dougl, it took him months of walking the same trails before he felt confident enough to walk ahead of me. He spent the first couple of months on high alert tucked right behind my heel for the entirety of our hikes. He started to trust me more and his confidence has grown exponentially!
Nelson and I have been going on nature walks for a few months now and he’s made so much progress from our first outing. He spent our first nature walk melting into the ground and trying his best to slip out of his (cat) harness 🫠 but now he happily prances next to me or right behind me in between sniffing.
This walk with Dougl was the first time he spent more than two seconds out in front of me 🤩 He seemed so content to follow Dougl’s lead and Dougl checked in on him frequently to make sure he was keeping up.
Moments like this make all the heartache worth it ❤️🩹
