Damn dogs. They’re lucky they’re so cute and fuzzy and curl up on your feet when it’s cold out.

I dig the “bonding through fear.” I’m 99% sure that’s why Walter loves me so much — I had to dogsit him five years ago when he was really new to the fam. That’s when we bonded (also I bought his love with fake dog-treat bacon).

When I was watching my BFF’s dogs once, 2/3 of them escaped from their new house. Friend was in Europe. We were headed out of town that day and handing over dog responsibilities to someone else. I was posting on NextDoor, driving around, crying, freaking out, etc. Didn’t tell friend until I found them, which happened because I went back just to check once more and the dogs were in the house, wagging their tails at me, like “What’s up, crazypants?” (Gaslighters!) Then my friend said, “Oh yeah, we need to fix that back fence, they keep running off.” AAAUUUGH.

Also, the BFF after trauma is a training technique I call “bonding through fear.” It’s how our little rescue became my instapal — the roofers were scarier than I was.
