Loyal furry friend.

Daily writing prompt
If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?

If there is one thing I could make my pet understand, it would be the heart-wrenching pain I feel every day when I have to leave him at home to go to work. Oh, how I wish I could explain to him that it breaks my heart to leave him alone, that I would much rather spend the day together going for long walks and snuggling on the couch.

I long for him to forgive me when I come home late because of traffic or work commitments. I wish he could understand that my boss doesn’t value him the way I do, and that pleading with my boss to let me go home to take care of him is not an option.

I hope he realizes that I do this to provide for him, to give him the best life possible. I know he may become sad and lonely, but I hope he never resents me or takes it out on me. My only wish is for him to know how much I love him, how he is my best friend and my constant companion.

It is the most difficult thing I have to do, leaving him behind every day, but I hope he understands that it is out of love and necessity. I hope he knows that he is my everything, my reason for living, and I will always come back to him, no matter what.
