I love my godson. He’s small, sweet, the perfect companion. And he’s soft. No, he’s not a baby, rather a dog. Specifically, my best friend’s dog.
I met Milo the first day she brought him home and, since then, he’s been the greatest gift. When I think of him, I marvel at how such a small, simple creature can bring such insurmountable joy.
While the winter blues are slowly thawing as the March sun begins to bless us, they’re still here. In dark times, sometimes all you want is a little buddy who has no idea what the hell is going on. A completely unaware being, innocent to the world’s struggles. He just exists. And we love him for it. Having a little comfort is more important than ever when balancing so many stressors and existing in such a chaotic world. So, kidnap your friend’s dog! Catsit for a neighbour! Buy that fish? Whatever it is, I promise you’ll find a source of comfort in a non-human companion.
So thank you, Mr. Milo, for bringing so much joy in a world that sometimes has so little, even if you don’t know it.
