RE: @SteveFaulkner@mastodon.social
In which I liken @karlgroves@mastodon.social and my relationship with him to Jim and Wilson (not Milson)
"Despite always being with Wilson and loving the dog, Jim was also clearly terrified of him and could barely bring himself to touch him (despite the fact Wilson never showed any hint of aggression). Although Wilson was ostensibly a good dog, he also caused tons of chaos, from licking bodies in coffins to dolloping in the Goodmans' flowerbed to constantly running away."
