Happiness is a Warm Puppy


Many years ago Charles Schultz wrote a book called Happiness is a Warm Puppy. I never realized how true that was until we had this cuddly little dog. I love to hold Emme and feel her warmth next to me. Ken says Emme could be an emergency furnace, she is so warm. I particularly love riding in the car and holding Emme. As soon as the car picks up speed, she snuggles down and naps for the entire ride. She is so sweet and warm. She likes to be held in Ken’s arms as he works on the computer. It makes using the keyboard or mouse a challenge, but the payoff of having a warm puppy in your arms is worth it. I have a coffee cup with a picture of a Bichon that says on the back “There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.” I don’t know about that. I know where that tongue has been. Give me a warm puppy snuggled next to my chest anytime.
