i've had katie, my 16-year-old peek-a-pamp [her mom was a peekapoo, her dad was the neighborhood tramp] since she was five weeks old.
i was opening stores for a now-defunct big box chain at the time as a corporate trainer, and one of the very pregnant [with twins] cashiers in the store in question gave her to me as a going away present the night before i left the store.
i snuck her into the hotel i had been residing in for eight weeks' time in my guy's dress shirt pocket, and she looked like a toy [she fit in the palm of your hand] and no one questioned.
she slept in my hair on my pillow that night.
========
you go through a workweek, you give everything that you have. you get to friday, and you are so friggin tired, you feel transparent.
i sat down in the hallway, and katie came to me
and pressed her forehead up to mine and kinda rubbed foreheads, like she used to do when i was in law school, when i was all used up.
then she crawled in my lap, and just started licking my face.
how do they know? how do they just know, that if they do certain things, somehow, everything is just All Better?
