tiny poodle puppy

dear growl at me diary,

the grump let me hold and hug him for several minutes before he started his bullshit growling at me, which is way longer than he usually lets me touch him. i think it is because i did not tell him i loved him while i was holding him. he is a very vocal dog and wants to 'talk' back after and during every interaction. i ain't afraid of him when he growls like he does, but strangers are. it just sounds terrible when he starts it up and really gets going. i counted 16 seconds where he held his breath inbetween loud ass snores last night. i almost jumped up cuz i thought he was dead and then he gasped in for air. i have a sneaking suspicion that is how the grump will pass away- he will forget to breathe while he is sleeping. he is pretty old now. i dunno how long they live, or when they lose their mind, but he's got a great start at losing his mind, i am sure of that shit. i used to tell him he was a great poodle and i think that is what started all of our issues right there.
