Haha! I think it's a bit of both. Doing menial things seems to be always bothersome, but every action feels like a new adventure. So, there's a good mix there, I think. Rather, I surely hope so. One can never tell unless it comes from him.
Since it's out in the open, yes the creature is indeed a dog. Ugh. I would provide a bit more detail in the coming SILVER LINING, but rest assured that he was very docile. Worst guard dog ever. Wouldn't bark or bite anyone, just lays around the whole day haha!
Thanks for your continued support, my friend! It really means a lot :D
