my chihuahua

I’m about to take a shower. I’m going shave for the first time in a while. I don’t have shaving cream, but I learned conditioner is good for shaving. The travel conditioner we used on vacation will suffice.

I took my dog outside for a total of an hour today. We did 29 minutes this morning and 35 minutes just now. I try to give her some exercise every day because I know she gets bored in the house. I wish my parents didn’t give away my other chihuahua, Tippi, when I was in sixth grade. I can still see her being taken inside that van. I’m watching her from the door in our garage. She must’ve been so scared to be placed in an unfamiliar place. It is fucked up. Brownie lost a sister.

If Tippi were still around, we wouldn’t have a problem with this. I feel so bad for my dog. I want to give her a good life. She’s traumatized by my brother. I can’t even remember when it started. Sometimes it’s annoying when I’m in the living room and my brother walks in. She immediately comes over to me and licks me excessively. I know my brother has never hit her. She started being this way around 2021 when the ‘rents were divorced.

I want to give her a new home, but I know she wouldn’t adjust to the change well. She’s a ten-year-old. I doubt many people can handle her. She’s a biter. She’s not the most misbehaved dog, though.  I was considering going into Jobcorps about a month ago and I was looking for pet rehome websites online. I wish we could get another dog so Brownie would have a friend. She chases the cat around for fun. I wouldn’t get a new pet just so my dog would have a companion, though. That’s all
