Puppy Love
He is at that awkward, cheerful age where he is into everything, gets fantastically dirty, and his hands and feet are suddenly much larger than the rest of him.
His head gets all sweaty when he is asleep and his wispy hair makes invisible curls from the damp heat. He has outgrown the new-baby smell. In its place is a faint little-boy scent with a tinge of clean dog.
He whines on his sleep and shifts around. Sometimes he half-wakes and rolls into a crawl, like he is continuing on a path he started in his dream.
I love him more than is even possible.
