Nothing like a broken spirit

My dog literally could not wag his tail for about 20 of the last 24 hours.
And I don’t know if you know, but I’m kind of obsessed with my dog. I’d do anything for his cute face. So when something is not right in his world it pretty much turns into a nervous break down [...]
