Last night I couldn’t sleep, and I was able to sneak out of the bedroom without waking Zoe - a new accomplishment for me. When I crept back in hours later, in the dark, I found Zeeke at the foot of the bed, and Zoe on my pillow. So I nudged her to the side and got into bed beside her, then spent about 10 minutes cuddling and snuggling with her. She rolled onto her back so I could rub her tummy and chest. I love that dog so much. No matter what else happens in the day, at the end of it all I have her and that’s all that matters. She’s such a perfect little creature to me.

She did end up getting up and moving, but I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
