Paws twitching

Laden breathing

Nose flipping

This is Billy dreaming

He spent the day at Happy Tails

His heart’s now delighted

Puppy eyelids heavy

Tail fanned and holding steady – along the hardwood

Rambunctious energy finally quieted

He’s ready

A tired dog is a dog that’s good

Exhausted, content, safe

Gone for the night

I wonder what thoughts he keeps

Rib cage expanding then falling

A day lived right

Now he sleeps
