A sad - perhaps even a little too relatable - story. :3

I very much like how you don't tell us it's a dog speaking from the start. I read the first few lines and thought to myself; will they argue about who will take the pet, and the pet will talk?
But then realized it was the dog speaking :D

You noted you love writing, but haven't been writing in quite a while...
You were right. You should write more! :D

Thank you very much for your entry ^^
