Dog on Dad's pillow on the couch


No, the couch is not quite soft enough,
No, the blanket on the couch  is not quite soft enough
Only Dad's pillow on the couch is soft enough
and it smells like Dad.
she looks up lazily at me as I come in drenched
from the rain, burdened with a heavy bag of groceries.
I'll make dinner tonight while she's out on a walk 
with her Dad, after which she'll come home,
bounding in, tail wagging, ready for dinner.
Ah, the life of Bella!
