The joys of dog ownership (the epic battle of wits between man & dog)

Fast asleep, adrift in dreams so sweet

the most relaxed I've been in many a week

then a sudden pain in my chest

a stabbing piercing weight,

takes my breath

Stood on high,

like a climber atop a mountain peak

she stands staring deep into my eyes,

into my soul, 

if dogs could speak

How dare I get so comfortable in my own bed

as I am forced to sleep - head against the wall instead

I dare to roll over,

a growl,

my leg cramped against the wall

something wet against my back,

her favourite ball

the look of anger in her eyes,

the battle is on

how dare I wake her, she sighs,

the score is 1 - 1

I start to slip, sleep starts to take grip, 

about to doze

the duvet has deserted me, 

I'm froze

a sudden draught, its getting cold, 

my bones chill

snoring away in bliss, 

my little dog sleeps so still

Banished from the room, I may be

but never would I trade her, you see

she has heard my every secret, 

my cries at night

she is there when I'm in pain,

to give cuddles against fright

She keeps me warm when the night is cold

her snoring is relaxing helps the sleep take hold

she helps me to drift away

that is until she hears a noise, and goes barking merrily

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.
