We have a temporary addition to the chaotic craziness that is my house. My mom’s dog has come for a short stay.  I am thinking that dogs are like children. When you add to the collection you can’t see how they weren’t always there.  One more? Mmm, okay.

This morning, I was going to get up and get going. Tackle some of the growing list of things that need to be done, places to go, people to see… all that kind of stuff.  While I was still snuggled under the covers, not convinced that I wanted to greet the day yet, the dogs all crawled up and settled in. One at my feet, one at my side, one at my shoulder. Coffee delivered by loving husband, good book close at hand, hemmed in by a furry collection of warm happiness… my list can wait.
