We’ve been taking care of a silver lab named Eric for the past week. It’s not something we do often. The dog has to fit in with the cats and the general chaos of the place. So far it’s only happened with Lily and Leni, who are good, and – in an unplanned emergency – a pair of tiny yappy asshole dogs that kept peeing everywhere and will only ever come back here over my dead body.
But this one was really special. He’s going home tomorrow, and I’m going to miss him.
