Everytime I lock eyes with my dog he starts whining because now he has proof I know he exists and yet I am still not letting him sit in my lap, it doesn't matter that im not sitting, or that he weighs more than half my wieght.

But he could be sitting in your lap, and that's a problem. Don't you want to fix the problem? Of course it's serious, it's all over his face.

Also when I'm having a bad day and I lock eyes with my three-year-old who is giggling for no reason at all.

Melting? That's pretty painful... Wait, why is there a cute dog in the picture? Oh God, there's a smaller picture! Don't look at it, it's it a melted dog or something awful?

Reads text. Looks at smaller picture.

God fucking damnit. Who uses 'melting' on its own to describe something positive?

Lots of people do. Here is the Merriam-Webster dictionary entry: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/melting

Also, it’s damn it or dammit. Not damnit. https://grammarhow.com/damnit-or-dammit/
