I've got a very leash-aggressive doggo as well and have found that an airhorn can be very useful on walks. Breaks up the bullshit immediately. The drawback, however, is that everyone hates you.

Excellent. I’ve never had a pet in my life and I loved this. The present tense made it.

As someone who has also switched from cats to dogs throughout my life (although I've never tried to have both in the same house yet, godspeed to you), I feel this essay deeply. I also wonder if my dog feels condescended to when I give her a baby voice, but I can't help it, the baby voice always slips in.

Who let the dogs in?! Woof, woof, woof, woof🐶

You’re a good owner! Junior knows not to wake us until we’re up (which is early, but not 5 am early). Porter is a lucky boy!
