to Sophie

A deep sigh
A stretch
The noise of tags as she shakes her collar
Tappy toes walking the tile
Slopping water out of her bowl…
The thump of her dropping her body on the floor
A yawn, at rest
?
The tuft of hair on her head
The scruff of her jowls in both hands
A hug and a thump on her ribs
Stroking her back
Rubbing her belly
Scratching her butt
Letting her tail slip through fingers as she walks away
?
Her snort
Her smile
Teeth clutching but not biting
Her face in my chest
Her nose in my hand
Sniffing
Licking
?
Her gazing eyes
Her pawing foot
Her tilting head
Her bark for attention
Her jump for action
Attack the frisbee
The leash, Let’s go
?
