"He'd just lie there huffing and puffing. Sure, life is so hard getting two walks and two meals a day and then having to sleep on my memory foam mattress with your jowls draped over my pillow, oh and muggins over here covering you in a blanket because you look cute all tucked in"
A very ruff life indeed.
