Dogs do make life better.

When you wake up in bed with pack cuddles two sprawled out Floofs combined weight of 169 pounds of furry love.
And you think i started out bedtime with much more bed space than i have now .
How fortunate we are because they seek you out to sleep with you because they love you and feel safe.

You move to the bathroom to wash your face and brush your teeth and the furry boys camp outside the door.
Or on the back porch drinking coffee and you have two foot warmers crashing out on your feet.

You disengage from a toe crushing pile of fur chunk to go in for a refill barefoot because your flip flops are under the dog pile.
And you grab the big coffee mug so you won’t have to disturb them.
And you sit back down and they wiggle so they can once again can be touching you by laying on your feet.
You take a drink of coffee and occasionally catch a whiff of dog stench.
And you think wow the was terrible thanks guys you both should hit the yard soon.

Had the big lab mix and the little whatever he is all over us this morning. Wake up!!! Oh how I’ve missed those beasts and these humans too. Joy all around.

Better get this show going.

Duncanpup, your guys sound wonderful! Sometimes at night Layla will scrape my arm with her paw as a cue to turn over so she can get closer. Do I comply? Oh hell yes!
