This is Calvin. He’s 30 lbs. He gives no F’s. He does what he wants. He invades personal space like it’s his job. He’s long overdue for grooming along with my other dog. I have allergies. I’m currently having an attack as he’s hovering over me, staring awkwardly through his overgrown bangs. I’m too tired and don’t want to spend the money to take them to get groomed. I’m 9 months pregnant and overwhelmed with life. So, I lay here, on this couch, with my eyes swelling shut, keeping the slimy boogers from escaping my nose and on to the couch, as my dirty dog, stares lovingly but awkwardly through his bangs, into my swollen eyes.
I don’t deserve his love.
I love this dog.
