As someone with two cats and two dogs I completely relate. One of my dogs specifically wasn’t treated well by his previous owners and he loses his shit at strangers and it is so overstimulating. Not his fault and I still love him, but yes I emphasize
dogs are so overstimulating. they don’t know boundaries, they put their cold wet nose directly up your ass or on your legs any opportunity they get. if you walk away, they chase you. they bark really loud. i know they don’t mean any harm but i’m unwellhhh
