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.
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
my mom: “Penny, this is my Chloe! If you want to stay you better be friends!”
and so chloe (hesitantly) and penny (most excitedly) became best friends https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐶" title="Hundegesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Hundegesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💞" title="Drehende Herzen" aria-label="Emoji: Drehende Herzen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐶" title="Hundegesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Hundegesicht">
penny was half the size of chloe in the beginning...

penny died the summer after i graduated college and moved back home. i was so excited to finally be home with my pup & actually raise her but unfortunately things happen and aren’t meant to be https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😔" title="Nachdenkliches Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Nachdenkliches Gesicht">
grateful for the time i had with penny https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💕" title="Zwei Herzen" aria-label="Emoji: Zwei Herzen"> she was a handful and i almost wanted to give her up a month in (really, she was SUCH handful) but we stuck it out and i can’t believe i almost gave her up once

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?
