Oh boy, the anthem of my favorite pop music is on full blast!! Should I dance?
I peek my head from the blanket fortress and greet Laurie’s rather annoyed face. He hits the phone and falls back to sleep. Maybe I’ll save my dance for next time. I snuggle closer to Laurie and kiss him repeatedly until he gets out of bed.
It always works.
He loves my kisses!
Today, we are going to have so much fun! It doesn’t matter if this day is the same as any other day, because I get to do everything with Laurie, and everything Laurie does is so fun!
By the end of
this day, I will be so happy that I’ll lose track of time and the counting of
days, because it all fades away too quickly into a blurry state of infinite PILLOW
FIGHT!! and CATCH!! games!
These days, he talks to me a lot.
I don’t understand most of the words, but I can feel that he is sad. Very sad.
He talks about a world outside where the birds roam free and the people greet each other with tight hugs. The world beyond the front door, where Law has everything he ever wanted.
I want Law to be happy, so I rush to the door and try to open it, but Laurie picks me up and cradles me, gently swaying me side to side. Laurie is feeling bad for not bringing me outside for so long.
Don’t worry, Laurie. I
give him my biggest kiss and let Law pet my head. It always makes him really
happy!
Laurie always thinks that I love to go outside, but I only love it because Laurie is happy there. Outside.
Every time Laurie is sad, I run around and command the door to open, hoping he will go outside. And when he does go out and brings me along, I run with all my dog-biscuit might until Laurie is happy again.
I will do anything to make Law happy.
If going outside makes Laurie happy, even if he forgets to bring me along sometimes, I will be happy too!
Because seeing Laurie happy is all I ever want.
