A pattern of gentle, kisses trailing up my neck to my jawline. I open my eyes to the face of a furry angel, sent from heaven itself to keep me sane and happy.

Eyes of molten chocolate surrounded by silky black onyx, framed with perfect ears and a petite wet nose reminds me, I am loved, that life is worth living.

A quick yip, brings the world into sharp focus, forcing me to awake and let the furry angel-baby into the yard, where she tearing through the grass, disrupting the glittering dew and causing birds taking flight in a blind panic. She runs with a doggie smile that lights up the world.

I call to her using her favorite baby voice. She meets me in the middle and kisses my face in her excitement to be near me. We sit together on the couch watching movies and drinking tea. Her warmth pressed to my side, heats my bones with happiness.

This is what one would call puppy love.
