Brenda's Infatuation

I try to spend a few hours each afternoon alone with Brenda. I work at my desk and she snoozes on my bed behind me. By this time in the day Ben is usually already at work and Porter and Sadie are out with their dog walker. Brenda loves to be alone with me.

Sometimes I turn around to look at her. If her eyes aren't closed she is usually staring at me. I love it when she lays on her belly, paws at the every edge of the bed almost within reaching distance from me, legs crossed and her ears folded forward. She looks at ease in this position. When she spots me staring at her, her tail always wags and her lips turn up into what looks like a huge grin. If I stare too long she will get up, walk over and give me a kiss.

She's beautiful in these moments and I wish, for her sake, she could find such serenity in every situation.
