I dont think my dogs know their own sex or gender anyway π€π @Chasingsunsets . Usually people assume theyre both female because my male looks "pretty" lol . He gets "she" all the time haha. And he is too fluffy underneath for people to be able to glance and check π€£
Just got home. π now wait for cleaner to arrive soonish. And i'm doing another load of washing, so I can be productive while I rest for an hour (the cycle time).
Hope others have had an ok day?

@Chasingsunsets @AlwaysMyself @Till23 @REDLINEZ750 and all others!
I've had a good day today. I went to an animal rights Opp shop nearby and told them I'd volunteer for a couple of hours a week. The whole getting out by myself is the big thing!! I went downtown to get some photocopying done and while I was down there, I picked up my Meals on Wheels (I don't like cooking), did a little shopping and went to a cafe for a coffee and read the photocopying. I'm amazed that I did so much! Normally I'd go directly home but I know I need to try something different to combat the loneliness and anxiety. Connection is something that I was missing. I feel like I'm beginning to connect with others on here! I'm going for a walk around the block now. π

Oh well done @heartathome that sounds like a huge day and getting out twice!
I hope that has given you some confidence and maybe you had some conversations here and there to help with connection

That is epic @Till23, how cool!! They look so happy swimming around!! You even saw a baby? That is awesome! Do they stick pretty close to mum when swimming?
Love your pic!! Thanks for sharing π¦
Morning @heartathome it sounds like you had a really good day yesterday! It sounds awesome the things you did a balance or productivity and little comforts like coffee and shopping, then a walk around the block, I love evening walks, one of my favourite things to do!
The volunteering sounds awesome, when do you start there?

@Chasingsunsets I've only offered a couple of hours per week. I want to start off slow rather than telling them that I can't do the hours. I'm at the mental hub having a barbecue atm. Next Friday is the final day. I lock myself in of a night to keep myself safe. Do you walk a dog of a night or go by yourself?
