My name is Tiffany. I work in law. I like to run. I recently broke up with my wife. I want to move to New York. I have two dogs: a Yorkie and a Great Dane.
My name is Bryan. I am 30 years old. I just changed careers. I work at night.  I recently broke up with my girlfriend. I ran a half marathon. I have two dogs: a Poodle and a Labrador. One of my dogs likes to run with me.
How are your two dogs doing? They are great, but they miss my ex-girlfriend. We are all having a hard time with the break up. Oh my. I know your pain. Dogs and humans both have a hard time with loss. My dogs are the same when my wife left me. I'll catch them every once in a while moping around, like they are looking for her. So we kind of have to be there for each other. Have you found anything that helps alleviate the pain of the loss?  Training for the marathon has really helped. It has given me purpose. Do you think running has helped with the loss of your wife? Yeah. It helps empty my mind and distract from the stress. Usually, the post-run endorphins last for a few hours, but then, the grief will creep up on me. I know it's a process though and it will not go away over night. I have thought about going to see a therapist to kind of guide the process, though. Have you considered that? I have gone. It did not really help. I find my dogs and running are the best medicine. Hmm. I'll take that into consideration. I have to admit I am kind of scared of having someone mess around with my brain, so I may not do it. I know your grief is complicated by your career change. Are you adjusting well to your new job?   There is a steep learning curve, but I am up for the challenge. I am learning a lot and it is keeping me busy. Well, I am sure you are more than competent to overcome that learning curve and excel. What exactly does the new job entail? I work with clients that are designing new bathrooms. I help them pick out colors, materials, and accessories. It is very creative. Wow. I wish I was more in touch with my creative side. My lawyer brain tends to be more rational, which I know needs to be balanced out. What kind of creative hobbies do you have that inspire you for your work?  I am inspired by painting and drawing. I would love to pain a portrait of your dogs for you!
