Oliver snuggled
I sat down to watch some TV tonight and Oliver crawled up beside me. He doesn’t jump onto the couch, he kind of puts one foot up, then slowly puts another up, dragging himself almost as if he’s not going to make it at all. He could jump if he wanted to. He’s so sweet! A great big lug of warmth. He’s almost as big as I am so when he sits down next to me it’s more of a sitting on top of me with his head and one shoulder in my lap. He’s over 80 pounds now. It feels so good to have him snuggle.
He started dreaming. He does this thing where he kind of moan barks only it’s very quiet. At one point there were puppies squeaking on the TV and he lifted his head but he didn’t open his eyes. He put his head down again.
A little later a little girl was laughing with her mother. Oliver’s head shot up and he did the head tilt thing back and forth and back and forth. I said, “Do you hear that little girl laughing?” like we do when we talk that baby talk to the dogs. Oliver looked over at me with his head but his eyes were still on the TV. He’s too much!
