I’m a dog person. I grew up with dogs, all of my roommates have had dogs, and I’ve been a side hustle dog walker for about four years now. Love everything about them. If I’m going to have a pet it’s going to be either a smart creature I get to spend time with or something that requires near-zero maintenance that functions more as apartment decoration.

We all float here

Every child should be able to trust that their parents have their interests at heart. That's kind of the point of being someone's guardian.
