/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I've been pretty depressed for a few months now. Nothing has brought me happiness - cosplay, lolita, anime, hell, even my boyfriend had trouble keeping me happy.

About a month ago, he surprised me with a gift: a baby Chow Chow puppy in a cute lil basket.

Gulls, I've never considered myself a big animal person, but I'm in love. This dumb puppy has brought me out of my depression. I get up early to take him outside and walk him twice a day. I take him to Petco to let him pick out toys and snacks. I play with him constantly. He sleeps curled up into my side at night. I'm enrolling him in puppy preschool.

Not just that, but my interest in cosplay and lolita has been revived through him as well. I finally put together a serious dream list of dresses and am actively looking for them. I've settled on just who I want to cosplay and what cons I want to go to.

I love my little puppy so much. Even if he's bites at my hands and has scratched my face on accident - he's brought me completely out of my depression. My boyfriend and I are spending much more time together by taking him to the park. I'm getting way more exercise.

I'm just beyond happy, gulls. It feels so good to be out of that horrible depression. I can't say how much I appreciate my bf for doing so much for me and sticking by my side.
