Our pets are just extended family members…

Scratching behind your ears

is such a treat for you

fur so soft and warm

paws so petite

chewing tenderly on my fingers

we play cheerfully

running wild in circles

stopping to take another nibble

the game continues on

as we bond in adoration

finally you tire

flopping onto your back

I rub your tummy

you sneak off into canine bliss

    I haven’t had a pet at home since I was a kid, although I usually bond well when I’m pet-sitting for friends. So this was a good insight into what sort of a relationship it can be.

    Well done! I love my dog, Lucy!

    Sets just the right tone. I just let my two out for an early morning patrol. They require so little compared to what they return.
