Riley Gonzalez

Just one more day …
watching you bust open the door and walking into our room
watching you lick your brother’s ear
watching you climb onto the couch
watching you sleep on your back with your legs up
Just one more day…
of sharing my food with you
of you sniffing your bed so you can lie down on it
of you sniffing the air for the direction of a precise smell
of your scent when soap and water blends with your fur when giving you a bath
Just one more day…
hearing you bark when the doorbell rings
hearing you follow me around the house
hearing you whine when I tell you “I will be back”
hearing your relaxed sigh when I sit with you and give you love
Just one more day…
playing tug of war with you
walking around the block with you
Sleeping on the bed with you
hugging you and smelling your fur
Just one more day with you Riley
