I wish I could say this has only happened once, but being a pet parent means my entire day can be thrown off by a single thought about whether my dog got one last cuddle, one last forehead kiss, or one last reminder of how loved they are before I walked out the door. The funny thing is they probably have no idea how much space they take up in my mind, yet somehow I’m replaying every part of our goodbye while running late and rushing out the door. Life gets busy, schedules get messy, but making sure my dog feels loved never feels like something I can skip, even if it costs me a few extra minutes. 😂
