The Sunny Side of the Couch

I know everybody has their favorites. Favorite side of the bed. Favorite seat at the dinner table. Favorite toothpaste! I have a favorite too. It's where I spend about 16 hours a day. The right side of the couch. And in the afternoon, it just so happens to be the sunny side.

While it is warm when the sunlight filters in through the lace-covered door, there is more to it than that. I feel safe there. I feel secure. When my mommy is sitting next to me watching TV or working on her laptop I feel like the luckiest dog in the world! No one is going to hurt me. No one is going to force me to have babies anymore. I have a home. I am part of a family.

I am loved.
