Perhaps this is my favorite post so far. The way you’ve expressed your emotions so simply and naturally is just beautiful. You reflected on a past event that changed your life the way you do in your songs but in a completely different style that feels so raw and brings the reader closer to you. Love the pictures and the ability to go back, remember you might have not thanked Sara, and then just do it so effortlessly and eloquently. I’d love to see more of these reflections because it reminds me of your writing in High School and it’s just so brilliant!
I spent most of my life wishing I had a dog bc my parents didn’t liked the idea of pets. I grew and moved to another state and rented a house on my own, one day I saw a post of a couple giving away a beautiful young dog. I didn’t think and just adopted him. I had no idea what I was getting into since he wasn’t a puppy and had a very sad past, however is one of the best life decisions I’ve ever made. He has saved my life in so many ways, so even when it was a hard process I am very ok with the commodities, life style and choices overall I had to change so I can accommodate him and provide him with the best possible life I can give him. Mollete is a border collie mix too and we’re not sure of his exact age, but he’s my best friend so I love seeing Georgia’s pics and I love reading about your experiences with her. Lots of love from Mexico.
Tegan, this read like an excerpt from your diary. I understand your anxiety. We felt the same way when we rescued our cat Mo. Especially as he had loved on the streets for the first 8 months of his life and he was the runt too. It was hard work but so worth it! I’m sure you feel the same about Georgia, she is a credit to yours and Sofia’s perseverance with her training and she looks so happy and content with you. With us, if you look at Mo now you would never believe he used to live outside (although his favourite toys are still a freshly hunted down leaf and potato peel) I firmly believe it was fate that you couldn’t rescue a smaller dog. Also, as a runt, she fits in with the way society looks at the queer community. Not quite right, a bit off and to quote a customer describing me at work “a wrong un, defective” So I think you were the perfect people to give her a home. The same way that I feel we are the perfect people to give Mo his. Sorry for the fucking long reply but I’m battling covid and procrastinating instead of studying. Love as always xoxo ❤️
When I read the title I thought something went wrong and we had to be patient for some reason lol. Thanks for sharing Tegan, this post feels like something you needed to do more for yourself than to thank Sara (and Stacy), it's out of your system now, like a self-reflection. Georgia is definitely lucky to have you and Sofia, we can see the struggle, the dedication and the adjustments through your words but I bet it only gets easier with time and now you're thankful for the addition to the family. Your love for Georgia is beautiful, and please that last photo of her sleeping in the back seat, precious 🥺
Tegan you're sweet and I'm sure Sara knows how thankful you were for her offer. Bringing another member into the family whether they be furry or human is a huge change. I feel for you in that change. We rescued a little lady from LA in January of 2020 and I had forgotten what it was like to have a new pet in the house. Luckily she is older so didn't have to do the puppy potty training but she has settled in well. I'm so happy that you are so happy with G at your side now. Dogs are amazing. As for potty training, I've trained many tiny humans over the years and yeah....similar concerns of peeing on the floor and wrecking things 😂. Happy Tuesday beautiful. Give that big furry girl a big hug today. ❤❤❤
I love this post. Thank you for sharing <3 We’ve had two cats for two years now, got them right before the pandemic started. I never thought my life would change as it did. I feel so much love for them now. But along with that love came a whole new level of anxiety (not gonna lie, I’m still adjusting. Do other pet parents feel *this* anxious about screwing up too?) But at the end of the day I wouldn’t have it any other way :-) … and it seems like you’re doing great !
We definitely had some moments of panic and "wtf did we just do" thoughts when we adopted our first puppy, who we loved for 14 too-short years. Things definitely got easier as he grew older and calmed down! I feel for you and Sofia a lot too with Georgia being a mix of working dog breeds - our new dog is a mix of working/sport dogs too and it's been an adjustment with how much physical and mental energy he has!!
This right here, ladies and gentlemen, is what I aspire to be with my sister one day. Thank you for sharing your experience and for what it’s worth, Tegan, your dog is a gorgeous and fun add to all of our lives. Xo

Tegan, reading this felt like reading a chapter of your new book. Hope you guys write more ♥️
This is my favorite post so far 🥺
I understand 2 things from that post:
1- Georgia is better than a therapist for couple
2- Sara left her big house because Georgia peed on the grass.
But my English is not good so I could be totally wrong. (Having a dog is so rewarding despite the constraints and difficulties!!!)
Loved this post, bc I felt super identified.

This was really sweet, and I’m welling up. Hi to Georgia. ❤️
