She’ll wait there for hours,
hoping someone will come to bed soon
and let her snuggle up while she sleeps.
Once I climb under the covers,
she can’t get close enough,
burrowing her head into my back
until she drifts off to doggy dreamland.
She’s been known
to drive me insane some days,
but those moments always pass
and I’m grateful
for her constant companionship
and unconditional love.
