there's a neighbor dog around here named bailey, her owner is a cop and she's an outside only dog (figures). she shows up pretty often for treats and if there's bad weather. she still shies away at first if you reach towards her, I assume because she's used to being hit, but after the initial move away she'll end up leaning against you hard while you rub and scratch her all over. Sometimes I'll be outside sitting on a stool wrenching on something and realize she's just laying next to me, chilling. Best new friendship in the past decade for me.

anyway fuck cops, hugs to baileys
