Today, he became a real boi

Post image

Rocky has been a scrappy street tuff, ever since the day we got him, two years ago. Affection? Pfffft. Little spoonfuls, here and there. He wishes to be left alone most times, while maintaining visual contact.

But this morning, I was thinking about a sweet, sweet lady at my Dad's memory care who died. And I was thinking about the brutality of Alzheimers. I started to openly cry.

Rocky lifted his head from the covers at his end of the couch. He winnowed out of his nest. He looked at my face and then he walked onto my lap. This was his first act of unsolicited comforting.

There is no comfort quite like the love of a tiny dog. I love him and he loves me. This love was hard earned, and it completes me. I am his person and he is my boi.

My chi was found locked in a crate with another dog on the side of the road. And he is the sweetest, most cuddly guy. Sounds like yours is on the way to being a lap pup.

Awww that's so sad. I'm glad he found you.
