Last night, as I tried to drift off to sleep, I was weighed down, literally, by Beezer tucked into the nook of my arm, head on my shoulder. I so desperately wanted to send him to place so I could get comfy, but I was suddenly struck by the thought that one day I will want to give anything to feel the weight of him against me, to scratch his head, and feel those velvety ears. Someday I will want nothing more than a few more minutes snuggled up with my boy.
I remembered how when Zeke suddenly became ill, he didn’t find comfort curled up with us, but rather would lay on his cozy cave or on the other end of the couch. Dave and I would take turns sleeping downstairs with him for quite awhile, and even then, he would sleep away from me. It broke my heart that my Velcro boy knew that a snuggle with me wouldn’t take his discomfort away.
So the next time your pup locks you into some unexpected couch time, hogs the human bed, or nose whistles at you for more attention…one day you will want nothing more. Soak it in, and love them big while you can 🫶🏼
