i love this part of me,
i never knew
a passion for pups
and how much it grew.

i’ve found kindred souls
in the floofers and people,
rich with love and empathy
with hearts most peaceful.

this quiet dormant facet,
laid hidden to me
sprung from healing
and allowed me to see.

i didn’t even understand
how angry i was
anxiety hard in my fibers
provoked with cause.

the knots started to loosen
(with care and meds)
constructing forceful boundaries
from those causing dread

enter the floofers
profound wells of resilience
true innocence, delight
beaming radiant brillance.

i’m so grateful to them
to feel this deep
and wrap my kintsugi heart
in everlasting puplove to keep.
