humans are the worst
and I think I’ve known that
since I was a kid
I never had many friends
I didn’t fully trust any strangers
I kept to myself whenever I could
but I spoke to animals
I’d never greet a human
but I’d say hi to their dog
dogs never judged me
for my intelligence, my waist size
my athleticism, my gender
puppies smile when they see me
they run to me and wag their tails
to them, life is bliss with little trouble
some puppies get so excited
when I return to them
even if I was 10 minutes down the road
one puppy knows when I’m anxious
she checks on me all the time
she’ll lay near me and kiss me until I’m okay
some puppies are strangers, not mean
they’ll nibble to say hello
and flop onto their bellies
puppies spread their simple bliss
so even when I’m against the world
at least I have them

As I found this post, my partner was trying to convince me to go get a puppy tomorrow. I might be taking this as a sign lol

We saw an ad for some deer hound pups from a shelter near us. We might be going tomorrow. We might think better on it, I don’t know lol

Aww! Sounds adorable. — I have a beagle/pomeranian mix, terrier, and a chocolate lab. All are adorable. It’s great coming home to a puppy that’s excited to see you. — It is difficult to pay for a pup (like shots, food, etc.), but I think they’re worth it.

I prefer animals over humans most of the time… I love dogs… they are loyal and make great companions.

I agree! Even as a kid, I always went to animals more than humans.
