I Felt Like a Shit Dog-Dad to Mooch Today

It was a rough morning. I realized that I’d put off a couple of things related to Mooch lately. I didn’t like how that made me feel. I felt like a bad dog-dad. I beat myself up a bit for putting off getting her nails done and scheduling her yearly vet checkup and shots. It made me feel bad and was affecting my mood. But I turned it around. At least I made good on it once I realized what I was doing. I’ll tell you about it in today’s episode. I feel a little better now. Her little dog nails are looking much better. And those shots are now scheduled. Thank you, Mooch, for helping your Paw-Paw get his priorities straight. I can always take a couple of hours off of Substack to take care of my favorite dog. © 2026 The Mouthy Renegade Writer. All rights reserved.
