But I was a cat lady — never owned a dog in my life. I just wanted to shake things up after my mom’s illness and my dad’s passing. A dog would be such a comfort. I figured managing eight pounds of fluff would be a breeze. Yet despite my good intentions, somehow I was quickly in over my head. I loved the pup to bits, but he needed a real leader and… that wasn’t me. Eventually, my old friend, Curiosity, came to my aid. I couldn’t be the only one struggling to raise a well-behaved modern dog.
