This except i haven't been sleeping well.

Same, except a dude with a cat and it's more of a constant tossing and turning as opposed to sleeping lol

Also she's only there in the morning waiting for me to feed her as is tradition with cats lol

My cat burrows under my arms while I’m sleeping to get the heat from my chest. I’m allergic but I love him, so when I wake up holding him like a teddy bear with his fur all over my face, I just wheeze a laugh on over to the cupboard to look for the antihistamines.

This was me like 3 years ago

Also me except don't have a dog... can't because of how shit my life is. Work too long to be able to give any pet a good life and so choose not to. Guess I'll die alone.

Don’t use someone else’s yardstick to measure your success.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 5 points 19 hours ago

I use my own yardstick but a yardstick is a standardized length either way.

If my dog smiles that much at night while we sleep, then it’s worth it.

A quilt? In this heat?

The dog loves me, my blankets hug me, and my hair ties itself in knots. One day I'll get to that picture's level.
