I am Melissa. Living in Minnesota, its flipping COLD here already BTW
I am 30 and just realized within the last week, I am likely suffering with social phobia, it explains so much.

I LOVE animals,mostly wolves and dogs. I have 3 dogs of my own but pet sit and foster dogs sometimes too. I have got 2 of my dogs certified therapy dogs so I go volunteer at elder care places and schools with them. It was HORRIBLE for the first month or so, I was so shy and scared but I quickly realized how calm I was with my dogs around and how much easier it is to talk to people, now I love volunteering...but without my dogs? Probably not so much

I don't really have any friends, in fact, I lost 6 this past year. Its been tough. Especially with my "neighbor" who I thought I was befriending and we had such a rare connection, I was actually HAPPY around him and looked forward to talking to him, but a stupid misunderstanding has us not talking right now and it kills me, especially to see him nearly every day anyway. Hope at some point, we can talk again, I miss him terribly

I hope being here, helps me.

Hi Melissa :) we've already talked a bit I look forward to following your posts and hopefully the whole neighbour thing will rectify itself sooner rather than later :)

My dogs get me through it all!
Can you tell me more about therapy dogs? I have a young St Bernard I would like to do that with. I don't do well with adults but I really enjoy children. I have thought about creating opportunities to work with children. I homeschooled my kids but they are grown up and I really miss working with little ones.
