together, just the two of us,

oh, how we laugh at Coco’s antics,

the rituals that we witness every day

that growly laugh,

those bright, happy eyes

his perimeter patrols in the backyard

the way he gathers his toys, in succession,

to lure us back to B-E-D to L-A-Y

down again, after breakfast ~

that face, that   FACE!

we cherish his sweet puppiness,

though he’s now our senior boy

we adore him, yes

we love him so very much
