Snuggle Whippets

Yesterday afternoon we were watching TV and Scarlett was sitting between us, while Rose curled up on an ottoman and looked sad.

Patrick said, "What is the matter? Don't we have room for her on the couch with us?" and so we scootched over and I patted the cushion next to me and called Rose to come join us. She jumped up and with a happy wag of her tail climbed up on the couch and then into my lap, resting her head just under my chin while Scarlett licked her paws. She was thrilled to have been invited over for snuggle time watching TV. She's such a sweetheart and loves to be included.

She isn't the biggest cuddler in the house, either. This morning I woke up with Scarlett's head in the palm of my hand. Sometime during the night, she got hot and crawled out from under the covers and stretched out in the space between Patrick and me and put her head in my hand. When the alarm went off, I didn't have the heart to move her, so the first few minutes of the day were spent rubbing Scarlett's tummy and getting whippet puppy kisses.

Ah, aren't Fridays great? I am looking forward to the holiday weekend and seeing Margaret, Scarlett's littermates and Patrick's family in Greensboro. I hope Rose does okay with all the new people and plays nicely wtih Stanley and Scarlett when they play frisbee.

"Will they rub my tummy in Greensboro?" Rose wonders.
