cats, dragons (briefly mortality-adjacent but it's ++ and everybody's doing just fine)
Just bid farewell to Peg and Artie with "Bye, scaly sweetheart! Bye, fuzzy sweetheart!"
My life is so blessed. It'll all come crashing down someday one way or the other, especially 'cause cats only live a decade or two, but... in the meantime, it's more than I really expected or deserved.
I wouldn't say these cats saved my life, but they certainly staff the emotional maintenance bureau that the dragon founded. <3
