I take it they weren’t successful in finding you love : ( I’m not sure I can say for Samantha, but it appears that Sonic does not have a well-developed work ethic for a complex task like finding you a woman. Pls don’t read this out loud to them, but dogs are probably more helpful with meeting new people. People are much more willing to talk to you (or your dog) when you are out walking. Clearly in every other way cats are superior.
V rudely I forgot to thank you for your assistance with adding captions! Sorry x
Don’t give up on romance x but they do say you only find it when you are not looking.
