Today is my birthday, but it feels like just another day. I’m a dog, and though my paws may be small, my heart carries the weight of loneliness. While other dogs might be surrounded by friends and treats on their special day, I find myself alone in the quiet of my little corner.

My humans are busy, and it seems that they’ve forgotten about this particular… CONTINUE READING…

I’m writing you this letter to tell you that I’m leaving you forever. I’ve been a good man to you for 7 years & I have nothing to show for it. These last 2 weeks have been hell. … Your boss called to tell me that you quit your job today & that was the last straw. Last week, you came home & didn’t even notice I had a new haircut, had cooked your favorite meal & even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers. You ate in 2 minutes, & went straight to sleep after watching all of… CONTINUE READING…

While the bridge (as with all the others) was… CONTINUE READING…

Today marks another year of my life, a day typically filled with joy, celebrations, and the warmth of loved ones. However, this year is different. Instead of basking in the comfort of my home, surrounded by friends and family, I find myself in a hospital room. Though this may not be how I envisioned spending my birthday, I’ve come to appreciate the day in a new light. The sterile white walls and the rhythmic beeping of medical equipment are not what I would call festive. Yet, as I lie in my hospital bed, I am reminded of the true essence… CONTINUE READING…
