If only everyone could be like Carmine. He just loves you no matter WHAT. Although, I guess this photo is deceiving because he’s going after my curried hominy soup, but he doesn’t know any better… right? You’d think he’s faking the love to get his food fix, but he truly is a sweet gentle soul. Even though he has the worst table manners lurking up behind us and snatching our juicy napkins like a puppy shark, he’s forgiven. I want to live to be the best of Carmine, not the side that eats toilet paper for attention or licks dirty dishes, but the one that adores, sticks by your side, and makes your spirit feel joyful. Just a lover of any and all, that he is.
