🇺🇸 Honoring Those Who Served 🇺🇸
Today, on Veterans Day, Thin Line Wellness & Recovery expresses our deepest gratitude to the men and women who have worn the uniform. Your courage, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting others embody the true meaning of service.

To every veteran in our first responder community—thank you. Your strength continues beyond your time in uniform, and you are never alone. If you or someone you know needs support, we are here.

🐾 Even Working Dogs Need Rest 🐾
Athena loves her job as a therapy dog — offering comfort, support, and smiles wherever she goes. But even she has days when she gives that look that says, “Do we really have to go today?” She’s normally waiting by the door for me, but today she looked at me and walked in and lay down in her crate.

And that’s okay. 🩵

Just like our first responders, caregivers, and helpers, working dogs need downtime too. Rest isn’t a sign of weakness — it’s part of sustaining the strength and heart it takes to keep showing up for others.

So here’s your reminder from Athena: take a break, stretch, nap in the sun if you can, and refill your cup. You can’t pour from an empty bowl. 🐶✨
