Comfort And Companionship

My constant companions…my dogs.

They are always here with me - offering comfort and companionship. Love and loyalty. I would be truly lost without them.

They bring soul into my home. They sit with me, they lay with me. They walk with me from room to room, indoor to out.

They are lights in the darkness of lonely times.

Their faces fill with love - compassion - worry. They look at me, touch me.

Sometimes all I need is to feel one of their bodies leaning against mine. There is someone there. Another soul with mine. It is comforting.

A scratch behind the ears, a scratch under the chin. A pat on the head, a rub of the temples. Scratch the chest, kiss on the snout.

All this time I spend alone, I am truly not alone. I don't think I could do it without their comfort. Their love and support.

I am grateful for all that they offer me.
