Unity comes from sweat and tears in this reality.

Thanks Guen. I can forgive myself, as I didn't mean to hurt him. It just scared him a little, and I didn't kick him very hard. He's a german shepherd mix, so he's a big dog with some sharp claws. When 100 pounds of dog is pawing at you, I find it's good to keep your face out of reach. But I like to cuddle with him so much that I get close and risk getting clawed. When he claws my arms, sometimes that hurts too. But after the dust settles, I remember how much I love him and that it was just a phase I went through.

He does forgive me immediately. It's just that I sometimes scare him when I get a little aggressive. My eye still has the scratch on the lower eyelid. It hurt when it happened.
