Dog is gone. I'm sad. →[More:]New landlord said no to pets. I guess it's ok, 'cause the dog was a lot of trouble. My partner just arrived many miles away at his mother's house, delivering the dog to the dog's original owner.

When I walked into the apartment tonight, half of me still expected to be greeted by the dog -- not only was I not greeted, I saw his doggy bed lying empty in the kitchen.

Heard from my partner not too long ago. Both partner and dog thankfully survived the flight without too much difficulty, and the dog is apparently happy as can be being back at his prior home.

Sigh. As an introvert, I often long for time alone, but this is one of those rare moments when I wish I weren't alone.

Here 's photo of the dog.
