Today Rosie and I are the only ones at home. Brad and the kids are off at work and school, and my in-laws will be out of town all weekend long. The only one I have to keep me company is our big, white, shaggy poodle.Rosie has been following me around the house like a shadow all morning, making sure I don’t run off somewhere. How is it that dogs know exactly where you are, even when they’re sleeping? I swear… she must have her own personal radar on at all times, or something. I can’t even sneak off to the bathroom without her waking up and following me with her big puppy eyes. If I go too far she’ll jump up in a flash, making sure I don’t escape.
Right now, Rosie is sleeping directly behind me on my bed. Sometimes she’ll stretch out her paws to touch me gently on my arm as I sit at the computer desk. I love hearing her breathe and feeling her warmth so close by. What’s really funny is when she makes little whimpers in her sleep. I often wonder what she might be dreaming about. Does she dream about strangers walking by our house? Does she dream about rats or cats? Maybe she dreams about food. Who knows?
I hope she dreams about me.
