puppy love

puppy, oh puppy, how do i love thee

let me count the ways

~ i love the way you stare at me perplexed, head bobbling back and forth, when i sing at the top of my lungs

~ i love it when you run around and dance along with me all over the house

~ i love fluffing your velvety soft furry coat and scrunching your face 

~ i love it when you optimistically pop up with the ball in your mouth hoping that someone will play with you

~ i love it when you try to jump on the bed, miss, and tumble over backwards like a fluffy brown clown

~ i especially love it when you are curled up in a ball beneath my feet, asleep, the naughty little monster turned angel, quietly frolicking in dreamland

i can't believe that i love this nasty little beastie
