    My wife and dog (a little tiny Chihuahua). Regardless of what happens in the world, they’ll be there for me, so I can take comfort in that at least. Married six years this year and adopted the dog four years ago.

      This is basically me, we’ve been married five years but she had the two dogs (one chihuahua, one mixed chihuahua) since about 2013.

      I work from home and am super attached to the dogs. We live in California in a big apartment in a small building so I’ve always got the doors open and they’re happy. I walk them on my lunches and they really do keep me sane.

      The one I’m more attached to (despite trying not to play favorites) even plays with me now (even though chihuahuas are typically not playful), and when he wants something we do this weird thing where I keep jabbing my hand at his paw and he does the same to me.

      I never wanted pets due to the responsibility but these little guys have totally won me over and I love them to the moon and back!
