I have this on the wall of my office, let’s be friends:
When my dog is sad or scared or upset I pet her ears and tell her in a calm, very “big gay dad” voice “don’t worry, you’re very good and you’re very loved.”
Anyway, someone overheard me today and started crying, in case you needed a “how are people doing” check.

Update: everything still a complete disaster of a shitshow, but Audrey made a new friend! Murphy lost his big sister dog a few months ago, and has been really sad, so we introduced them to cheer him up. He struggles with anxiety and shyness, but as you can see they really hit off.
