The Near Perfect Day

April 19, 2012 | Filed under: Stories

Monday I was not feeling well, so I spent the day home in bed watching Buffy- which, aside from not feeling well, isn’t really a bad way to spend the day.

But the best part of the day? Having all three dogs curled up and cuddling with me. They had no desire to look out the windows and bark, or really do anything other than lie right next to me. (Thank goodness they are all small enough that that is a possibility.) June and Larry shared the space to my right (which is also the space that C normally sleeps in- June always prefers to be where it smells like her daddy) and Howie took the bed to my left. We had no resource guarding of me, no harassment of anyone. It was a nice, calm, sleepy, and cuddly kind of day.

In fact, if it weren’t for the pesky feeling like crud part, it would have been a perfect day.

      I would definitely be happy to come back as a dog belonging to a pet blogger.

    A simple, perfect comfort. I haven't been sick in a long while… but in the absence of mom, a park of nursedogs makes for good healing, too.

    Hope you're feeling better by now!

      Thank you, I am feeling better. But I think I may need to fake still being sick to see if I can get the dogs to return to Monday's calm state. The world apparently needs to be barked at this morning.
