Pixie never ceases
to be
a source of joy for me<\/p>\n
earlier this evening
I gave her a kong
full of peanut butter<\/p>\n
she gets so excited
trembling and squeaking
with excitement<\/p>\n
and then she licks non stop
till it’s all gone<\/p>\n
I know she’s done
when she looks up at me
and very daintily
bleches like a truck driver<\/p>\n
tonight
I’ve been sitting on the couch
Pixie has a box of toys
at the foot of the couch
most of them are tiny stuffies
the size of beanie babies
without the beans
unicorns, lions, tigers and bears…<\/p>\n
one of her favorite toys
is a rubber ducky
that a friend gave me
it used to be a key chain
but she loves it
cos it’s the smallest
and just fits in her mouth<\/p>\n
I get so’s I don’t even look
I toss it
and toss it
and she brings it back to me
every single time<\/p>\n
tonight
instead of tv
I’m reading
I’m lounging lengthways
on my couch
and I’m so engrossed in my book
that I’ve been tossing toys
likely for about an hour and a half<\/p>\n
she finally starts to squeak again
and I look up
to discover
that my legs are completely surrounded
by some 30 little toys<\/p>\n
I’m enveloped
in everything she loves
including a half filled
peanut butter kong.<\/p>\n
silly little dog
again
I can’t figure out
why I waited so long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
