My job had been very cruel to me and it put me in a steep depression. My partner, and I love her so much for this, was cool with me taking some time off to get my head straight. A few months in and I’m sort of drifting and lost. So she buys me a Morkie dog, so now I have something to FORCE a routine onto me and it was great. That was about 6 years ago and little Doug is about 10 years old now and while he’s a total assbutt, he is irreplaceable.
