economy seats were not built for humans, let alone humans traveling with a toy poodle who thinks he's entitled to first class treatment. But here we are. somewhere over who-knows-where, folding myself into a shape that would make a pretzel jealous, while Lex casually claims the last few inches of floor space like he pays for this ticket too. i used to think i needed legroom to survive a long haul. turns out all i really needed was a 7kg dog who's convinced the entire plane belongs to him - and somehow makes cramped feel like company instead of chaos. so if you're stuck in a middle seat with zero space and a stranger's elbow on your armrest, my advice: bring a dog. preferably one with curly hair and zero concept of personal space. it won't fix the legroom. but you won't even notice anymore. best travel buddy for sure stay pawsome 🐾 #lexthepoodle #dogsoftiktok #pettravel #travelthrowback
