I had to laugh at “we sigh when we lie down and grunt when we get back up” - my husband and I were just saying we’ve reached the “announcing all movements with a sound” phase of life. I remember years and years ago sitting on a flight beside an older lady who did that, and thinking “welp.. that’s what’s ahead of me”. It arrives sooner than you think.
One of the great gifts of loving a pet is the ability to love with unabashed sincerity. We are so societally cynical, everything has to have a wink and a smirk underneath it, so much facade maintenance to avoid being considered “ick". But you can just flat out love your dog and no one cares. It’s a wonderful open place in our hearts and souls that brings such value to us humans.
