Happy #NationalRescueDogDay Since it is also Ment

Happy #NationalRescueDogDay

Since it is also Mental Health Awareness Month, I would like to talk about this guy. His name is Gilfoyle. We adopted him when he was 9. He is what is commonly referred to as "kind of an asshole". Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about that because it's not just a personality trait.

We don't know what the first 9 years of Gil's life were like but it's pretty clear they weren't great. He has been on Prozac since about 6 months after he came to live with us. That controls the night terrors and panic attacks. If you've never seen a dog have a panic attack, I really don't recommend it.

What sadly aren't and can't be controlled by meds are the trauma responses that manifest as violence. Sometimes, something nobody else can see will trigger Gil and he will attack. It's happened less frequently as time has passed and he's grown more used to living in a loving, supportive, safe environment, but it hasn't gone away. It's happened as recently as last week. My husband and I both have outward scars as a result of Gil's inward scars.

I see posts about special need rescue animals with missing limbs or eyes or senses, and those posts are invariably met with support & sympathy. What Gil is met with, as often as not, are glares and sneers and judgment, at him and at me and my husband for being "bad" dog parents who just need to "train" our dog properly.

But Gil can't be "trained" out of his condition any more than a dog can be trained out of only having 3 legs. Not all special needs are visible.

The good news is, we are finally commencing some desperately-needed repairs & renovations on our 1979 mobilehome. The bad news is, this is what the studio currently looks like because those rolling shelves usually live in front of the windows and the windows are one of the things that need work.

But the good news is, I sorted through all my backups yesterday and have about 30 older sets in line for re-editing so there will be plenty of almost-like-new photos until I can get to the studio again ❤️
