@thestadlerfam: Madi has come such a long way over the past four years. Yes she’s still got her spicy little attitude, but there was a time when I couldn’t even lay next to her or give her kisses without her growling at me. I’ve never fully understood why she’s like this, but somehow I do. Deep down I always knew those growls weren’t pushing me away… they were her way of asking to be loved, to feel safe, to be held close. And now she’s the one who comes to me asking for more pets and more love🥹
