pet

The next morning, I wandered into a local yarn store called The Dropped Stitch and found myself petting skeins of mohair in colors with edible names: “tarragon,” “licorice,” “pumpkin spice.”

It tells the dark fantasy story of orphaned teenager Denji, who is killed by the yakuza but reborn by merging with his pet devil to become Chainsaw Man.

The impact that these animals have on our lives and the need for us to grieve, which is something that I notice, isn’t always afforded to humans with their pets or their animal companions.

A reliable pet sitter, especially at the last minute, is as hard to come by as a free street parking spot in Koreatown on a Friday night.

Don’t use a word they could guess, such as the name of your street or pet, says Liz Hamburg, chief executive of Candoo Tech, which provides tech support and training for older adults.
