A Delightful Day  

“It sounds like you had a delightful day, Jax!” Gruffy says cheerfully.

“Yes I did! We went to the park, I had yummy treats and so many cuddles! I was even allowed to stick my head out the window!” I sigh contently and put my paw on the gruffy human’s hand.

Gruffy gently places my paw back on the blanky, avoiding the cold surface. This is my favorite blanky. I push my nose in it. It smells like my food and my favorite human. The edges are chewed up, but the texture feels nice when I roll on my back. I remember, even though I haven’t rolled on my back for a long time. It hurts to move like that now.

My favorite human shakes her head, smiling. She scratches behind my right ear. Ah….I’m loving it! The sensation travels all the way down to my tail. I wag my tail a bit. I used to wag my entire body. I can’t anymore.

She presses her face in my neck. I smell saltiness on her face. I wag my tail a bit more, that will surely make her smile.

Gruffy asks: “Are you ready?” My favorite human nods. She starts scratching both my ears simultaneously. I drool from pure pleasure.

Gruffy pats the back of my neck. I feel a cold sharp sting but I instantly forget about it because of the ear scratching.

I could take a nap like this. My eyes feel so heavy. I hear my favorite human’s voice and feel her endless scratches as I slowly doze off.
