I was lying in bed looking at the dog sleeping like a stone and I thought, when she dies I'm going to be one of those crazy people who hold on to the decaying corpse of a loved one for months because they can't cope with the loss. And then I thought, what if I already am? What if she's been dead for weeks already? How would you know the difference? And if the dog is dead then who's been pissing all over my floor????
