Cold night?
He wakes me up gently - cold nose in the face or ear - and asks politely if he can join me under the blanket.
I never say no.

I'm on my side, knees drawn up as if sitting, he curls up on my lap and puts his head on my hip.

Contented sighs from both as we go to sleep again.

Alas, no more.
I retired 13 years ago, he was my constant companion.
I will miss him.
But the memories live on.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
