I didn’t mind when you turned your back on me, going to the other room and leaving me just standing there. I didn’t mind when you pretended not to listen to my pleas and did all those things then and there. I didn’t mind when you ran down the streets to experience the freedom you never seemed to find under my roof. I didn’t mind when you attacked me with all that anger when you couldn't bottle it in any longer. 

I didn’t mind when you embarrassed me in front of guests. I didn’t mind when you were kicking up a fuss and kept me awake. I didn’t mind when my furniture was broken and my property was violated. I didn’t mind when you didn't leave me enough room under my blanket. I didn’t mind when you took possession of my belongings. I didn’t mind your lack of specific knowledge. I didn’t mind when you got lively when I was feeling fatigued. I didn’t mind when you emotionally blackmailed me over dinner.

I didn’t mind forgetting what it was like to be all by myself. But here comes the day when I look around and can’t feel your presence, I can only feel you're not coming back. Oh, my dear dog, I do mind your absence!
