The Dog visited a different counselor yesterday. He wasn't yer' typical PhD-with-a-yellow-legal-pad kinda guy. While the Dog had spent time on a psy's couch (yes, he's allowed on the furniture) he had never had such a gut wrenching experience. There was black bile from all the way back to days as pup. Hooooowwwwllll!
Dog felt strong guilt that he wasn't "there" enough for his pups. He was given reassurance. "Be there for yourself first. When you are there, your kids will know it, and feel it."
