Dog Sitting

So I feel like I need to just talk, No One, and you all don’t really mind when I do so I will.

We’re all familiar with Bobby right? Some of you new people might not, so I suggest you go check out https://hafletcher9718.wordpress.com/2015/01/18/panic-attacks/ and https://hafletcher9718.wordpress.com/2015/01/03/time-to-catch-up/ and https://hafletcher9718.wordpress.com/2014/09/07/bye/ – all of which are longer blogs but if you really want to know then go read those. Well Bobby has a dog named Jess and she is just about the cutest and nicest dog ever. I really should say “was” though.

She hasn’t gone on to the big dog house in the sky or anything, but ever since he left for boot camp she has remained at his father’s house with his step mom and stepsister. Of course they all live very complex lives and can’t take care of her as well as he did, but I’m watching her while they’re away this weekend and it just breaks my heart to see how much she’s changed. She was such a good dog, obedient and loyal, and it’s not that she isn’t now, but rather she’s just so eager for attention and love that I feel like she’s been unfortunately neglected. I know it’s no one’s fault and sometimes we forget, but I wish Bobby would just come home and take care of her like he used to.

Oh no, has a dog just accidentally turned into a metaphor for how I feel neglected by my friend and my inner desire for him to come home?

Goddammit I didn’t want to project my own feelings onto some cute dog, but hey I never said I was objective.

I don’t know, No One. I just feel bad for Jess. And it doesn’t help that I’ve been having to go over to his old house to take care of her twice a day. I can’t NOT think about him and the memories we’ve had together there and with Jess and just together and it makes me sad and makes me miss him more.

It doesn’t help that he’s at school right now and he won’t have his phone back for at least another week, so I can’t even talk to him about anything of this. If I would have in the first place – well I guess I’d like the opportunity to try.

I just have to keep my head up, I suppose, and focus on the good things. Shall we focus on those for a minute, No One? Okay!

I survived another week of school!

I do get to spend time with Jess and give her as much love as I can while I can.

I’ve had a pretty mellow and relaxed evening filled with tea, wine, face masks, and YouTube.

So my life isn’t too bad I guess, just there’s the occasional projection of my emotions onto hyperactive creatures, but like that’s normal right? 😛
