During my work commute this morning a dog walked alongside me for a bit. Black fluffy guy, medium sized, I don't know breeds. It was just doing dog things but generally kept pace with me. I found it kind of nice in a way, I don't know, think it was the sound of its claws tapping on the pavement and the jingle of its collar. I can't even look after myself let alone a pet. How lonely must I be to have thoughts like this, really?
