This still felt like a dream, as if I were caught in another dimension, far away from reality. I knew things wouldn’t always be like this. I’d feel homesick on occasion, miss my family, but I’d find my place in New York. Most people had welcomed me warmly so far, and I had my four dogs with me. Once things had settled down, I’d go in search for more animals that needed my help. Our life together had only just begun and I was excited for it.
