There’s something to be said about the fondness reciprocated by fury friends. Towards the end of our holiday break, Michelle and I got to host her pup Macy in our home.

We don’t currently own a dog together, so it was nice having a day punctuated by four furry paws scampering around our home. Macy is a loving, sweet, and chill cockapoo and seeing the calm resonating from Michelle’s smile gave me pause…

In a world filled with so much hustle, there’s something to be said about having a little being that simple exists to live and love.

I’m not the first person to say “we don’t deserve” dogs… and I don’t care – they have a propensity for embodying what it is to be “alive”.
