Great pic, sleeping with Pants 🐾

Love this framing! The parallel between forcing Pants to rest and our own resistance to slowing down really hit. I've been in that cycle where the work just piles up, and rest feels like this earned luxury instead ofa basic requirement. The heartworm recovery sounds brutal but Pants story makes the case btter than any abstract health data could.

Yessss I know that feeling! But rest is not a luxury!

Also, thanks for this: "but Pants story makes the case btter than any abstract health data could." That is EXACTLY why I started Dog Lover's Guide, and it really made my week to hear that it's working for you.

Compliance with recovery from heartworm is soooo challenging!

Oh my god, you are not even joking. I can't believe we managed it, to be honest!

Wonderful! Yep, I see myself here. Getting 7 hours should be easy, but I never quite manage it!

Right?? It's like everything else just wants a little more of your time. But if six things want just ten more minutes of your day, there goes an hour of sleep.
