Monday I snuck out of our place and went to her parent's house to ask their permission. They're amazing people and have shown me nothing but love since we met.
They are so happy to be helping me plan the proposal it's been amazing.
Celebrated my 40th birthday this weekend with dogs and humans that love me and all I could think was -
This is what I fought for man. 12 rehabs, endless shelters and halfway houses, this is what it was all for.
My 40s are going to be filled with love.
We had some fun in Minneapolis and then went to my girlfriend's parents house where they had a bunch of balloons, presents and cakes for me
Something about being cared for by parents that aren't yours is such an amazing feeling.
You might've noticed I fell in love since moving to Minnesota.
Me and my 2 dogs recently moved in with her and her 4 dogs. I'm the happiest guy in the world.
The Puckett Family just got a whole lot bigger, let's meet the new dogs! 🧵
You'd think having 6 dogs would be crazy, but it's really been delightful. All of hers are old, my two run 45 miles a week and are pretty chill in the house.
Everyone gets along great it's really been amazing, I'll never sit down alone again.
My dogs were building up to their 4th and 5th marathon but I ended up with a stress fracture a week before the big day.
No fosters recently, it's been tough enough trying to exercise and care for my own dogs.
Luckily it's going a little better than last time -
Last time I broke my foot the dogs ran over 700 miles with me on a scooter, this time I've been using an electric bike. They've been amazing but it's tough finding safe places to do that.
We've got 2 good routes and hopefully will find more.
