Your fuzzy black ears blow softly in the breeze
While you’re laying right there on the blanket beside me
You roll and stretch and smell
And I know the day you leave will be absolute hell
For now I watch the wind kiss the flowers and the bees and your nose
And, if but for a moment, I can forget all my woes
Your wet nose and sloppy kisses have saved me more times than I can count
I wouldn’t give you up for anything–not for any amount
You frolic and run in the warm spring sun
Knowing that we’ll snuggle when the sunlight is done
I pray you know how much you mean to me
I hope you know it from your basset knot down to your speckled feet. <3
