I'm very lucky to have an incredibly cuddly dog. One of my favourite moments of the day is first thing just before getting up, when I snuggle up really close to him. Aside from his very cute silky soft ears, another delightful place to stroke is his underbelly where his fur is thinnest and so he emits a wonderful warmth, my own living hot water bottle. If I lift one of his legs, the folds in his skin are really really toasty.
I adore these moments of warmth and softness and connection - touch is my primary joy and as you know I enjoy that connection with my humans loves as well as my unexpected canine one. Sometimes I long to stay cuddled up and wonder what life would be like if actually I could just stay permanently attached to my snuggly ones. But I suspect part of the delight is in the brief coming together before then going on to other things. And today has many other things in it - lots to sort before 9 am.
