Cozy

Last night I sat on the dog bed on the floor next to Romeo while he chewed his white Nylabone. I was wrapped in a green blanket. I couldn't stop petting his silky black fur. At one point Romeo draped himself on my lap his pointy elbows poking my thighs as he chewed. I loved it. I watched his forehead muscles flexing. Occasionally he would stop and turn towards me and grab my blanket with his teeth. I'd say "no" and hand the bone back to him holding one end. He'd immediately resume chewing. It was a comforting sound. My blue jeans were damp with dog drool. This is cozy dog love.
