2013: it’s my senior year of high school & my dad had been pestering me for months about getting a family dog and i kept telling him no because i KNEW it was gonna become my responsibility & i was going away for college in the fall.
it was going to be unfair for me and pup. but mostly for me!

my dad’s friend’s dog had puppies and my dad couldn’t pass up the opportunity & brought her home. my sister’s bf (now husband) brought their dog chloe over for the weekend
and so chloe (hesitantly) and penny (most excitedly) became best friends

When this night passes
I’m afraid I won’t be able to see you
The utterly clear gaze
The touch I got too used to
The face that smiled at me
Will I be unable to see you again anymore?
