in this moment, atlas is snoring

May 29, 2012

in this moment, atlas is stretched across my bed lengthwise. he is taking up half of the bed and both of the pillows. he is also snoring.

i have a habit of saying, “he’s so cute when he ..” we are trying to decide on the silliest thing i’ve said thus far. if i remember correctly, the current winner is, “he’s so cute when he breathes.”

the person in the apartment next door has a tiny kitten. atlas saw the kitten peering out through the screen door on the patio yesterday and he could not have been happier. who knows, maybe this kitten will someday be his friend, just like the last neighbor kitten that he managed to win over!

in this moment, i love my little big pup times a million and thirty three four. i need to go give him a kiss and tell him so.

    lol. i used to just be content to sit and watch zeke breathe!
    i thought i was probably strange.
    nice to know i wasn’t!
    we just love them.

  2. Indy, my black Lab also lies on my pillows. I’ve figured out that it’s likely because they smell most like their fav person. I also adore my dog like this-everything he does melts my heart.

    ha. i do not say such things out loud, but i definitely think them about my Finn!

  4. ah yes, those “he’s so cute” moments happen a lot around this house too. sometimes when rave exhales he nickers like a horse and it absolutely kills us! when jazz was around we’d ask if he had any grievances to air and right on cue he’d woof and howl a bit. pets are so much fun. big hugs to you and atlas. xo

  5. A million and thirty three four is quite a lot. It is the same way suvi counts- I love it!

    jen: clearly i am in good company!

    jennifer: i want to hear rave exhale like a horse! and i love the jazz story too. i can just imagine him woofing his grievances!

    andrea: haha. you can say them to me!

    lelainia: i bet our pillows *do* smell like us. indy sounds adorable – i can just picture him!

    tammy: you’re definitely not. or if you are, we can be strange together!

  7. I love people who don’t think it’s weird the way I cuddle and sweet-talk my sweetie-pup. And just stare at her. Glad you are one of them!!
