That Time My Dog Ate My Socks.

Some decisions…change your life.

Like getting a dog.

2 weeks ago, my dog ate my socks. I got blamed for it. If anything, I was mostly thinking, “Wtf..?”
It’s now my responsibility to watch over my dog and ensure he doesn’t eat random shit, like socks.
Never mind the sock. I’ve never considered myself to look after anything…EVER. I can barely look after myself and now I’ve got a dog to look after. Yeah, it’s cute and shit but…I just realized I can’t shift the blame to anyone else if anything happens to him. Is that how it’s like to be a parent? You can’t shove the kid back into the womb and just …quit?

Holy shit, that’s intense. I didn’t actually know I signed up for this. I guess, I didn’t really want a dog that much huh? Initially, I wasn’t hyped to get a dog but I wanted to be supportive of bub’s decision to get a dog. So yeah… I’m here and all but I don’t really enjoy getting blamed for stuff that the dog does…? It’s tough though, I mean it’s nice to have a dog but I would prefer not having it due to my selfishness and well, lack of responsibility. I guess it’s time for me to work on that aspect of my personal growth huh? Either way, he only gets to be a puppy once and once this…dumbness phase is over, he won’t eat stupid shit like socks anymore so there’s that.

Side note, my dog pooped the socks out from his tiny ass…after SIX days. Talk about Mother Nature’s miracles. We were worried sick but thank god he did.
We brought Waffles to the vet last weekend and he was diagnosed with kennel cough. It’s s disease that is infectious and quite common among dogs sold by pet shop owners due to the poor hygiene in these pet shops. The vet prescribed him some antibiotics for 2 weeks and hopefully he recovers by then or else we may have to send him for an X-ray. Also, just when we were mindful of feeding him too much food lest he becomes overweight, the vet told us that Waffles was too skinny for a 5-month old pup and told us to increase his food intake. Oof.

So yeap, we shall feed him more and…see how it goes. I guess it’s not all unicorns and rainbows keeping a dog huh. Retreat. I repeat RETREAT. Kidding.

Until next time
