this dog and i bonded so hard because we were neglected by the same person

when i learned my mom died i was screaming and crying in my room by myself and, bc he is empathy embodied in a canine, he kept rolling around on my stomach and climbing in my arms to press his cheek on my face. when his owner, my bestie of 10 years, got home hours later, she talked to me for five minutes, took a shower, then asked to go to her boyfriends 😐 i dropped everything to be with her when her dad died two years earlier. didn't leave her side for weeks, besides going to work

but we were barely friends by this point. i had stopped going out of my way to talk to her because she was unkind to me, didnt pay her share of rent, and didnt help me take care of her dog. me being more distant hurt her feelings, which i feel guilty about, because maybe we'd still be friends if i hadnt done that.

im grateful i was able to take over his ownership when i moved. but sometimes it makes me sad things turned out how they did


this wasn't the video i wanted to post of him but for some reason it's not accepting my other video. so y'all dont get to see his silly head tilts
