my dad is 68 and got a little old man cocker spaniel and every day he tells me they’re best friends <3 Also having pets when you’re older gets you out and social and walking and helps with memory maybe?? Scientists of P.I. back me up ?? Look at this freaking goober
Just when you’re stressed— Feeling weird about your parents getting old? Skip that last step on the stairs… Scared about your dog dying? Tap all the corners of your desk at work, twice… I‘m not saying it changes anything, factually; but I *can* say that my childhood dog lived really long and my parents are aging well. *tap*
*tap*
crazy how no matter what mood you're in an animal at home makes Life better
cat jumping on your lap or a dog bringing you a toy to play with them whatever happened in your day is in the past!!!
What’s That? Oh, we both love steely dan and hate cyclists that wear the little outfits ? (Not bc we hate the fit- we do, we just hate that they give you a dirty look when they roll through a stop sign and it‘s your turn to drive more) it starts with you liking one of my recs (obviously), then, feeling generous, I like one of yours that’s either a micro-complaint or link to a specific, hard-to-find performance of an ethereal 70s jazz singer. We follow each other back and… the rest is history as they say… And by history I mean we dm on Instagram nightly until eventually we meet people that live on our own coasts and our flirtation becomes merely a memory But a beautiful one at that
