July 12th, 2021 is a day that I’ll never quite forget. The summer sun was blazing as hot as ever, and yet I sat shivering in the passenger seat of my boyfriend’s car—windows down and all. Every time I felt my Goldendoodle move in the slightest, I shivered at the excitement (but more-so nervousness) of the fact that for the very first time in my life, I was going to be fully in charge of another life.
