Dogged.

For the time being, I'm living back home, a perfectly respectable thing for a man nearing 30 to be doing.

I just turned around and saw that the dogs made their way up here to the "office," and are expecting to sleep in my room in the absence of my parents. This is truly a different world. I'm used to a squalid one-bedroom environment with a cat, and I've moved to a decidedly non-squalid multi-roomed environment sans cat with a pair of dogs. I'll adapt, because I'm adaptable.

Yes, this is a wholly different world.
