I know that posting a black and white picture of the dogs is not exactly what "Self Portrait Challenge" is about. I'm aware that the black dog and the white snow isn't "myself". But think about it... these dogs and I are so intertwined that people always ask me "Where are your dogs?" if I happen to be around the apartment complex without them. To keep them healthy and happy, I have to walk them at least 3 miles a day. Cause if I don't, they stare at me relentlessly. Which for some reason, is much like torture. Something like having to listen to a drip drip drip when you're trying to sleep. So walking them wears them out, and it helps "myself" to be more active, which is healthy. Even if I spiral into depression, I HAVE to get out of bed and take the dogs out so they can pee. It's almost as if I'm not allowed to get depressed, because I have to go outside into the fresh air. Without the dogs, I truly think I'd never leave the apartment, and probably wouldn't get out of bed much.
