02/20 There’s something about leaving home
You hear all these stories about how a month after someone moved away, or 3 months into college someones pet from home died. As far as I can tell dogs never die when you are there, they sit and wait till you leave then bang, they up and die on you. It almost makes you wonder, are they trying to make you feel bad? Growing up I made sure my dog had everything he wanted. He had that Iams dog food that is stupid expensive but made with real meat, Santa brought him presents every year, he slept in my bed, whenever my mom tried to make him an outside dog Id throw the tantrum for him, but I couldnt keep that up when I left home. Sometimes I cant help but wonder if I never left if hed still be here.
