Small bones with Bluebeards

Charlie the dog blog: Written by a dog

This morning we met up with some very fun friends of ours we haven't seen in awhile. It was magical. Amber felt her shoulders lift when one of her all time favorite crushes showed up, and she had a lovely conversation with him. Plans were made for the weeks coming up over breakfast, and everyone hugged and smiled when we parted. The day became lazy with phone calls, cleaning, and good old television. It was the perfect day all things considered. I am a big bully sometimes because I am a little dog. Sometimes when people and pups feel small they bully other people to make them feel bad. Amber had been bullied by someone she was once close to, and made wrong for asking for the smallest thing (a DVD to watch) and it made her feel really bad. I cuddled with her and reminded her that people would not treat her that way if they really were there without expectations. She has moved on from the situation, learning enough to write an entire text of what she will never accept in her life again. This person held her hostage by restricting any love/friendship/kindness/giving without having his own will enforced. Adjustments in This new way of life will take practice, but as Amber's girlfriends remind her "bluebeards are a mirror of what you feel you deserve". Being in a relationship where you are shown little love, but with alot of expectations makes a bully feel big, ,even when Amber knew deep down she deserves someone who gives unconditionally as she does. LIfe is full of learning. May she not think she only deserves small anymore. It taught her not to ever bully anyone emotionally herself. Being a person who deserves the best means believing you deserve it first. Only then, will she be taught that she does deserve to spend time with magnificent people who contribute all that they are to this world. I only bark at big dogs out of fear, but once fear is removed, I will be a friend to even the greatest of Danes.
