There You Are,
Sprawled Out Mightily
In My Bed...
I Fit Ever So Tightly
In Those Non-Occupied Spaces
Amongst Your Snoring And Late Night Farts
I Sleep So Soundly.
Love Filling My Heart
Profoundly With Your Furry Embraces
This morning as my gassy dog was snoring away, I sat thinking of just how grateful I am for Brody and his companionship. Even though he takes up most of the bed, I still find enough room to squeeze in there.
Today, let's remember that same comfort and completeness that we used to enjoy with our loved ones. Come join us if you'd like to share today.
Weekly Journaling Prompt
Did your pet sleep in the bed with you? Were they a space hog? Did they snore? Spend a few minutes remembering and dwelling in that memory.
