I would like to present you, today, with a dog character. This dog is perpetually angry, because she knows that she is better than you (she has good taste in obscure films, and her favourite fruit is the peach). She is very aware of her own good looks, and she likes to lie angrily on the floor, mostly.
Otherwise, she has brief periods of serenity when looking on the reminders of days gone by. This sort of thing doesn't bring her melancholy, or that uncomfortable sense of loss. No, instead she revels in it, visiting her past as if it was a garden perpetually flowering.
She has a short temper and a ceaseless hunger, like many dogs. But unlike most dogs, she is vividly aware of, and eternally grateful for, a life full of memories—good, bad, stinky, and sweet.
It's me I'm the dog
