This is the sweetest thing I’ve read. I feel like crying (happy tears). The good and positive vibes this substack brought me omg. I can’t describe that. Also, “other mom” 😭 so cute. The way you talk to Georgia is like you’re talking to your 8-year old human person. Literally adorable. No, honestly, I wish my mom talked to me like that. I’ll have so much less mommy issues (tmi? maybe).
Aww I just love Georgia SO MUCH. I have two dogs named Bella and Macy, one being 13 years old and the other just three years. We adopted our youngest dog not really knowing what we were getting ourselves into. She is so small yet she is so brave and vocal. This past year she has changed so much and is so territorial when it comes to showing any affection towards our oldest dog. I sometimes wish we had gotten a bigger dog, but I also wouldn’t trade these two pups for anything.
I loved reading your messages to Georgia, I wonder what she would say in response to your messages if she could talk?
In the t shirt subscription zoom I asked about how Georgia is with the cats and you were saying that she is okay with them. Has that changed at all? Has Georgia warmed up to other cats or does she not have any interest in other animals? I assume Holiday and Mickey don’t want anything to do with her lol.
Georgia taking after her mom’s example of always evolving. “Last month I hated bikes & beds. Now I hate suitcases. I might lose fans but it is a risk I am willing to take to express myself.” - Georgia maybe.
I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and I STILL ask these questions. Even when things are going okay with him (my dog) I’m always second guessing.
Sounds like you and Sofia are doing really well with her.
Also, you are two people in an apartment with a dog that has two smart breeds in her! Border Collies are the smartest dog and GS aren’t far behind. It’s exhausting keeping dogs mentally stimulated let alone the uber smart ones 😜
This is so precious 🥺 brings me back to the days of when my dog was a puppy. Sometimes I miss it but also so glad she’s out of her wild and rambunctious phase 😆
That’s funny all the existencial questions people have as soon they have a dog. While dogs are probably just living their best life 😂
If you put your face in your hands/arms does she try to remove them? My dog never told me why he was doing this, so if you can have the answer... thanks
So much thought and love in this post. Our four legged friends aren't just animals are they. They are family and we love them so much. Do you think Georgia's behavior with the ducks and chasing other things is because she is a hoarding dog? Has it changed as she gets older?
Love the sunbather bit lol. Suitcases definitely are a sign mom is going away for a while. We used to have take the suitcases out to the garage after the dogs were in bed and pack them out there cuz as soon as they saw a suitcase they would start having accidents in the house or doing things to tick my mom off on purpose. If they didn't see the suitcase they were fine with going to wherever they would be staying. They are smart cookies. They know. The white crate is beautiful, does she go in it on the airplane when you fly?
Thanks for sharing. Not sure Sara could get me laughing as hard but she can try. 😆
What a cute pup! I'm kind of a surrogate dad to my friends dog. Damn I love him to bits, he's a white husky/german shepard mix. Full of love, fluff and cheekyness. Dogs are the shit
“I wanted one cuddle. She didn’t seem that into it.” Lolsob. If only Georgia could answer! And as the owner of a little dog, they do start shit and Georgia really should just ignore them.
Ima be honest some days I wish I was Georgia. So I can cuddle all with you! Seems she has a tea time enjoying life! Love this! How bout the nails?!? Like you straighten the bed out and they scratch into it like it’s dirt outside. Then they plump themselves right in it?!? Thanks for sharing. Betcha she has tons of secrets! And very good at not spilling. 🤣🤣🤣♥️♥️♥️♥️😍😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗Georgia.
I love this pet post. I would love it if my cats could talk to me (and my turtle because I can’t leave him out). Maybe Georgia is scared of suitcases because a suitcase signifies you leaving? I don’t know, animals are strange…but I think us humans are stranger. I hope things get better with the things Georgia needs to work on and I hope you and Sofia can figure out ways to help her.
There should be a “what to expect when you’re expecting a pet” for new dog (or cat) owners. I feel like nobody prepares you for the amount of love you end up feeling for your buddy. The struggle is real <3

Omg new favourite post!!! I'm both laughing and crying listening to this, Georgia is lucky to have you both 🖤

Keep going! It’s ruff, but it’s worth it!
PS. Where did you get that last crate?

If it makes you feel any better, my husky is afraid of tooth brushes lol

I ask this to everyone who has a dog.
If Georgia could talk what would you think she'd sound like? 🤣
