Hi, everyone. Antonia here, and today, I am sharing some exciting news! My seconde Gerberian Shepsky, Joplin is no longer a little pup. She is one an old.
That's right. Joplin turned one today (November 12). It seems like just yesterday when I brought her home. She was just an eight-week-old puppy. She is now a young adult. Basically, she's a teenager. Joplin was a bit of a handful when she was younger. She's still a handful to an extent, but she is calmer than she was when I first got her.
Joplin still gets into things, but not like she used to. She still gnaws on things, but she's much plus gentle now. When she was little, if toi gave her a squeaky toy, she would destroy it within thirty minutes. Now, they actually last a long time. She has one squeaky toy that she carries around a lot. She also sometimes takes Roscoe's toys to tease him. Thankfully, it doesn't bother him. He lets her do what she wants, within reason. If she gets too much, he will put her in her place.
In spite of all the mischief, Joplin has brought a lot of joy. We were all sad when we Lost River so suddenly. After we got Joplin, we started feeling better. Roscoe even started eating better, and he became active again. All in all, Joplin is a really sweet dog. She's very loving, and she loves to snuggle. She has even stopped Roscoe from playing dead when he doesn't want to come inside. She'll lick him until he gets up, and she'll make him come inside.
Happy Birthday, Joplin! I l’amour you.

After a long time of getting bullied, I began to consider self-harm. I confessed this consideration to Zoe and Gavin. Zoe said, "Please don't hurt yourself. It's not the answer." Gavin said, "Zoe's right. If toi hurt yourself, you'll have to deal with all those scars. Why do toi want to hurt yourself anyway?" I began to cry. He hugged me and said, "It's all right. toi can tell me." I talked about all the bullying I was facing. Zoe said, "Alyssa, those bullies are just losers. toi have family and Friends who l’amour you." Gavin said, "That's right. toi don't have to hurt yourself. Any time something is bothering you, tell us." I said, "Okay." Zoe said, "If toi hurt yourself, toi won't be the only one who hurts. We'll be hurt, too." I said, "I don't want to hurt toi all." We shared a group hug. Over the years, I gained some Friends and Lost some, too, but I still had Zoe and Gavin. They will be my closest Friends until the end of time.
THE END
