When I Feel Left Out
🐾 Hi Friends—Harvey here!
Sometimes… I feel left out.
Mom and Dad were busy with the new puppy, and I was sitting alone.
My tail was still. My heart felt heavy.
“Mom?” I said. “I feel left out.”
She came right over. Dad did too.
“We love you so much,” they said.
They made space just for me.
A hug. A moment.
And that helped.
I learned something important:
When I share my feelings, people listen.
“My feelings matter,” I said.
“They always do,” Mom said.
