It Does and Will Get Better




Ramses




LIFE LESSON...

My 2 year old fur baby was dumped by his human parents, maybe put in a trash bag, because he is TERRIFIED when I put a new liner in the trash can. He sleeps with me, he constantly shows his belly (sign of trust) he is soooo loving. 

If you've had a hard life, it can and will get better. 

My 2 year old doesn't have a negative attitude, obviously holds no grudges to humans. So if your having a human moment where you cant get to positive.....get outta your trash bag, and appreciate the love you have in THIS MOMENT. 

IT DOES AND WILL GET BETTER.
