on wednesday, april 30th 2025, Paublo decided he would take his old, deaf, blind, ass on an adventure. i'll preface this by saying he is completely fine, a neighbor found him and we figured that out after a couple hours of panicking.
i hadn't gotten much sleep the night prior, so when i let him outside i completely forgot he was out there for a while (my fault). as horrendous as it was that i forgot about my dog, the previous update mentions his barking habit, and the window was open so there was absolutely no way we wouldn't have heard it if he had barked to be let in, he just didn't. that's already odd for him, but what's weirder is that he's literally never wandered off like that in his entire life, it's never been an issue before. in any case, searching for him through tears and immense guilt while my family went from door to door was enough of a traumatic experience to earn Pig the response of myself sitting on the porch and watching him like a hawk when he goes out now. i am eternally grateful for the neighbor who found him and looked after him until they figured out where he'd wandered off from, and Paublo seemed to not give a SINGLE shit about the whole ordeal. once returned to me, he genuinely just went about his business as usual, as if the couple hours he was gone was just a chill little vacation. utterly insane.
it's taken me this long to drop this update in here just because of how crazy it all was. not a huge span of time, but it's still a horrendous blur in my mind.
