Goodbye to our little CEO of Cuddles and Chief Officer of Snacks 🐾

Dear Reader, Today, I'm saying goodbye to Jeena—a 15-year-old furball who mastered the art of living better than most of us ever will. Jeena didn't believe in walks without cause (no treat, no walk—that was her policy). She was a master negotiator, a gourmet enthusiast, and had an uncanny ability to sense when someone wasn't paying enough attention to her. Forget FOMO? She practically invented it. But what made Jeena truly special wasn't her quirks—it was her heart. Her unconditional love. Her excitement whenever we came home. The way she'd quietly hide in a corner if she feared being left out, then scold my daughter relentlessly if she dared stay away too long. She taught us that companionship isn't about perfection; it's about showing up, being present, and loving fiercely. The house feels quieter now. The couch feels emptier. But Jeena's legacy? That lives on in every laugh we shared, every treat we snuck her, and every moment she reminded us what it truly means to love without conditions. Thank you, JEENA, for 15 beautiful years. You lived up to your Name every single day. Now you're in a pain-free world, finally at peace. Rest easy, girl. You were the very best of us. 🐾❤️ |

"So you're telling me you won't eat or drink water all day because... the moon needs to appear so your husband lives longer?" "Correct." "And you'll do...

Dear Reader I received a lot of heartbreaking messages from parents like this mother’s message: "My 15-year-old daughter used to tell me everything. Now she barely looks up from her phone when I walk into the room. I feel like I've lost my child." Sound familiar? Here's the truth: Your teen didn't stop wanting to connect with you. They just stopped wanting to be managed by you. The Shift That Changes Everything Somewhere between childhood and adolescence, our teens outgrow the "Because I said...
