00:00Here she is.
00:02Oh, hi.
00:04Oh, you're so cute.
00:06I think I am.
00:08Come here.
00:10Hi, sweet girl.
00:12I had COVID in 2020,
00:14which led to
00:16treatment-resistant depression
00:18and anxiety.
00:20Nothing was working, so
00:22one day I just decided I
00:24wanted to go play with puppies.
00:30I kind of wanted one of my own,
00:32but at the same time didn't know
00:34if I had the energy
00:36physically and mentally to have one
00:38and train it and do all the things.
00:40That led me to one of the stores
00:42that had a Homes for Life
00:44program.
00:46Here she is.
00:48Oh, hi.
00:50What's going on,
00:52baby?
00:54What's going on,
00:56baby?
00:58What's going on, baby?
01:02She had been adopted at two months
01:04with the owners for seven, and then
01:06she had been given back.
01:08Her lifestyle
01:10changed is what they told them.
01:12But they had let me know that she was
01:14very sick. She had, like,
01:16respiratory issues and stuff, and
01:18they were treating her at the time.
01:20But it's hard because if you go
01:22and play with her, you can't play
01:24with the other puppies because she's sick.
01:26Come here. Look.
01:28Oh, my God.
01:32She was very
01:34standoffish.
01:36She had no interest in things.
01:40In a way, it kind of reminded me of myself
01:42and my issues and just how I've felt
01:44the last few years.
01:46Sit. Can you do it?
01:48Good girl.
01:50I just felt like I would be
01:52heartbroken if someone, you know,
01:54adopted her and I couldn't see her anymore.
01:56So I decided to adopt her.
01:58Hi, Kai Kai.
02:00You got it, Kai Kai. Go,
02:02go, go.
02:04She just loves her outings a lot.
02:06I can take her to a dog park
02:08and she can run around for hours.
02:10Oh, hi, babies.
02:12Anytime that we enter my room,
02:14she just, like, wags and just sits there
02:16and waits, and as soon as I get on the bed,
02:18she jumps on me, and she's such a kisser.
02:20It's so cute.
02:22She has just fulfilled
02:24a part of me that I didn't even realize I had.
02:26What are you doing?
02:28Anybody
02:30that has seen me with her is just like,
02:32we haven't seen you like this in years.
02:36You're so cute.
02:38I love you.
02:40I feel like I've gotten more from her in the last
02:42few, like, month or so
02:44than I have in treatment
02:46as long as I've done it, which is just crazy.
02:48Crazy.
02:50I love her so much.
02:52Get it, Kai Kai.
