So, I did a thing. Walked into the shelter just to 'look around' (classic lie), and walked out with a four-legged chaos machine who now thinks my couch is a chew toy. Honestly, I thought I was rescuing him, but turns out, he’s the one rescuing me—from boring evenings, from my own overthinking, from ever eating alone again. He’s already claimed the bed, ignored every toy I bought, and somehow knows exactly when I’m about to eat so he can stare at me with those guilt-trip eyes. It’s wild how quickly a stranger can become family. If you’re on the fence about adopting, here’s your sign: do it. Your heart (and your furniture) will never be the same, but it’s 100% worth it.
