when the chill hits at just the right moment, I cuddle up with my old lady, sip on some peppermint brew, and watch my favorite animated Christmas movies.
the crisp air outside can stay bolted to the night–I’ll find warmth nestling under her love. the phone bleeps, and it’s you. your dimpled face appears, and you tell me about something that had you balled-over from laughter, and the only thing I can think of is how amazing it would be to be under or over you, instead.
I lean back, sink into the pressing of my chair, and dream of a place where Christmas lies on your lips and I am opening you as my gift, instead.

I am keeping my cousin’s dog, Drake, while they travel for my cousin’s funeral, which is today. It will stream live via YouTube, so I will tune in for it later. I do not do well around crowds now. Social anxiety is probably an understatement. Plus, I just cannot endure funerals.
I’d rather remember Chrissy the way I have her in my mind; lively, full of love and hope, and vibrant. I do not want whatever image the casket will display of her trapped in my mind forever.
These two, though . . . are like Frick & Frack. It’s really quite amazing to watch them interact. Jernee is older by nearly five years, but you would never know it by simply looking at them. I am glad I have their comfort today.
When all you have to do is sit around and look pretty, I guess you can afford to laze about all day while others take care of you and everything else. Lol.
Jernee takes FULL advantage of everything given to her and of her current status: Loyal Dog and Emotional Support Pet in Charge. Gotta love her!
sweet, sweet girl battling digestive issues ever close to me
Jernee was having a bad day yesterday. The poor girl has a history of hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, so her belly had been acting up from the early morning hours until a little after 1:45 pm. I am so happy she’s feeling much better now.
