Nothing compares to how much I love you.

Every inch of you is perfect.

The way your tail flicks with excitement whenever you see me.

How your eyes speak what you can’t say.

How you wiggle and jump when you’re excited.

I couldn’t imagine anything better than seeing you when I walk in the door.

The room was quiet and small. Small in the cozy way, the way that makes you feel like you’re wrapped in a hug.

I left a small lamp on for you so you weren’t in the dark, a tangle of blankets in your bed. It took me a moment to spot you underneath the cozy pile.

Your tail wagged so much your body started to shake as you loped over to me. I leaned down and scratched behind your ear, your favorite spot.

“Do you want some food, love?” I asked. You licked your lips in excitement and skidded across the slippery tiled floor.

I watched you run, knowing nothing could compare to what you give me.

Something to be excited for.

Something to want to do.

I come back from work.

You greet me.

I feed you.

We play.

We snuggle on the couch.

It’s something I’ve gotten used to doing, it’s more than a routine.

It’s my life.

It’s our life.

And I couldn’t imagine anything better.
