And I cradle the waves to sleep.

Toby and I out for a 1-mile walk. OMGs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Toby attacked a cat and hurt it badly! He had it cornered and I had to yank Toby out by the tail to get him off. I feel like shit because this happened off the retractable. IT WAS MY FAULT! I got Toby the fuck out of there. I went back to check on the kitty. It hadn’t moved, but its head was up, obviously still shaken. I tried to approach but it let me know I was not welcomed. OMGs the shame of it all! Yeah, I know the RIGHT thing to do, but I HAD to protect Toby at all costs. I know my mom and dad would’ve done the same thing for me. Right or wrong, family always stands by family.
*Ehwaz/Is right here!
