so currently it is raining, which is still quite a big trigger for my family and even the dogs get stressed when it rains. but i was outside before the rain started, cuddling the puppies, trying to fend off tears and it started raining, i was trying to not have flashbacks so i sat down on the outside couch, most of the dogs immediately came to my side and started cuddling me, since they were scared too. all the dogs kinda went off in different directions except one, who was sitting in top of me as lay down. the raining got harder and my breathing started to pick up and i started to panic, this sweetheart of a dog noticed immediately and started licking my face (mind you, none of the dogs have ever had any service training) she was also trying to snuggle into my neck more. she calmed me down before the panic attack got too bad and we both had some much needed cuddles. the other dogs also came over again and we were sitting on the couch as i calmed down a bit more. i love my dogs and i would do anything for them, they are the best thing that has ever happened to me.
