There Is Also a Dog

by Kayley Loring

To every dog I’ve ever fallen in love with at first sight… Just because you live with some other human, that doesn’t mean we aren’t soulmates. ;)

“I love you, Agnes,” I whisper into her crazy, bat-like ears. “I love you love you love you. Yes, I do. I love your sweet, sweet, squishy, sploshy, smooshy face! I thought you were cute in your pictures, but you’re even cuter in real life! Are we in love? I think we are. Do you love me as much as I love you, Agnes? I think you do! Yes, you do.” I whisper-sing into her big, erect, crazy ear, “Here come the brides, one has a smooshy face!” I give her a kiss, right in the middle of her fuzzy, weird little forehead.
