Problem: And many nights , many years , he slept in my bed . He loved to be right up next to you so he 'd cuddle up right next to your legs and pass out ( snoring ) legs splayed . So I ' m fairly grief stricken and having a hard time with it so far . His absence is going to take some time to register permanently ; I keep expecting to hear the patter of his claws on the kitchen floor but it 's not going to come . And when something forces me to realize that he 's gone ( like when I went to put my laundry in and saw that he was n't sleeping in his bed next to the utility sink ) I feel horrible .

Why is the narrator acting so sullen ?

A: They just lost a pet .

Problem: So my niece went home for the school year this last week . I still have my son with me , but it is alot more peaceful around here now that there is only one child running around ! We celebrated his birthday this week , and went into the city to do some touristy stuff . It was alot of fun , I got some great photos , my wife got some photos of me , and we ate great food .

Why does the narrator seem more serene ?

A: They just have one kid to take care of .

Problem: Alot of drunks to I think I got spilled on three times , but I still had fun . Ren is doing good , he is learning a bunch of new stuff , we work with him alot . We usual go running or a walk all together everyday . It is nice to get out , but it has been so crazy out .

How might I feel about going out where there 's drinking ?

A:
I might just wear some cheap clothes in case I get spilled on again .
