so much for salvation....

while avoiding homework, i went upstairs to get some cookies. i spied my dog lying against the front door. i walked slowly towards him and he watched me out of the corner of his eye without lifting his head. i slowly sat next to him with my back up against the door. and then i just looked at him. he wasnt looking at me anymore, he was staring off into space, thinking his doggy thoughts. i put my hand on his soft side and gently scratched him. his chest puffed out to almost twice its original size and he let out what seemed like a heartfelt sigh. i followed suit and thought "you and me both pal... you and me both..."

after that i curled up on the ground, with my head on his shoulder (so i didnt get in the way of his breathing), closed my eyes and just listenned to him breathe for about 20 minutes. i think i may have dozed off once or twice.

*sigh*

i wish i wish i were my dog...
